A Merry Little Christmas

A Merry Little Christmas is a Christmas album by American singer/songwriter/producer Linda Ronstadt, released in 2000. It was the final release under Ronstadt's recording contract with the Elektra/Asylum Records label for whom Linda had recorded since 1973 (twenty-seven years to that point). John Boylan returned as Linda's producer for this disc. Cover art and design Kosh It was the biggest-selling Holiday album of the 2000 Christmas season. It peaked at #179 on Billboard main album chart and continued to sell year in and year out. Ronstadt and Elektra differed on the final playing order: "They wanted me to start with 'Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire'. I was tired of bargaining with them. I had this scheme where it started with ancient and went to modern. I always like to organize chronologically." Following many years out of print, it is scheduled for digipak compact disc reissue and its vinyl debut in October, 2023.
