"Fairytale of New York," Molly Tuttle and Golden Highway with Ketch Secor (Nonesuch)

The Pogues classic has clearly become a Christmas standard over the years, with covers reaching across the punk, pop, rock, Celtic and country/Americana genres. Molly's a fine performer and her 2025 duet with Ketch Secor of Golden Highway is a worthy addition to the canon, although the lead fiddle pushes it farther from Americana and closer to old-school country music for my taste. But check it out on streaming, or click the cover to find it on Amazon.
