2015 was the year I discovered that I’m a little bit country (in addition to being a little bit rock ‘n roll, of course). Thus, as part of my annual mission to grow my holigay tunes collection, I decided this year I’d go all out and put a little more twang into the season. I’ve assembled a best-of collection for you here, minus any song that isn’t exclusively by or predominately fronted by a woman — because, I mean, c’mon.
