Here’s an incomplete list of new Christmas albums this season:

• Tracey Thorn, “Tinsel and Lights”
• Rod Stewart, “Merry Christmas, Baby”
• Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta, “This Christmas”
• Willie Nelson, “The Classic Christmas Album”
• Lady Antebellum, “On This Winter’s Night”

Non-Christmas new release of note: Susan Boyle, “Standing Ovation: The Greatest Songs From The Stage”, which is just what you’d expect from the title: Songs from Broadway and film musicals going as far back as “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” from 1939’s “Wizard of Oz” to “This Is the Moment” from 1997’s “Jekyll and Hyde.”
