In addition to many other strange things, Ballard C. Boyd plays the ukulele. And taking a cue from singer/songwriter Stuart Davis, when asked “When will you do a Christmas album?” and having him reply “I’ve done nothing BUT CHRISTMAS ALBUMS!”, Ballard decided to do just that. So for two consecutive years, Ballard has recorded a new all-ukulele, all-Christmas album for friends and family, in lieu of actually spending any money on people.

And NOW, the brand-new 2008 ukulele Christmas album “Christmas Tree Lights” is finished and available for FREE to download. AND NOW WITH MORE HARMONICA! Listen to any track right in your browser, just by clicking, or right-click on links like this one to download the entire thing and it’ll drop right into iTunes, no problem.

Featuring THREE brand-new Christmas classics, “Christmas Tree Lights” is this year’s hit (as loosely anticipated by the fine folks @ UkuleleHunt.com). Tell your friends, give them away as presents (the records that is - not your friends), and enjoy.

And the earlier THREE albums are available too, just take a look farther down and, boop, there they are.
