Emmylou Harris, “Light of the Stable”

Recommended by Gwen Stefani

Gwen Stefani, the singer and three-season coach on “The Voice,” made her holiday-music statement last year with the release of “You Make It Feel Like Christmas,” a pop collection heavy on standards like “Santa Baby” and “Let It Snow.” A deluxe edition was released earlier this year featuring her take on “Feliz Navidad.”

Ms. Stefani recommends adding the album “Light of the Stable,” from Country Music Hall of Famer Emmylou Harris, to your holiday rotation.

“It’s a beautiful record and one of my favorite holiday albums of all time,” she says. “I love her voice. My parents used to play it when I was young and every time I play it now, it gives me a nostalgic feeling and brings back all those memories.”
