History
Released in 1979, Light of the Stable was Emmylou Harris's first Christmas album. Produced and arranged by Brian Ahern, the recording brings together traditional holiday music and the country, folk, and bluegrass influences associated with Harris's work during the 1970s. The album features contributions from musicians including Ricky Skaggs, Rodney Crowell, Brian Bowers, and Hank DeVito. Its acoustic instrumentation and vocal harmonies give familiar Christmas songs a character distinct from more conventional holiday recordings.
The title track originated as a 1975 recording and was included on the 1979 album. Light of the Stable has remained in circulation through later reissues. At 47 years old, it offers a nostalgic example of late-1970s Christmas music on vinyl.
