The Complete 2014 Christmas Playlist

Last updated on: January 21, 2015 at 8:55 am By Jeffrey Overstreet

It started as a spur-of-the-moment experiment. I asked Joe Henry if he’d be willing to share his Christmas favorites playlist. I so admire his music, the projects that he chooses to produce, and the way that he listens. I wanted to hear what he hears at Christmas time.

How many movies that promise to “inspire” you actually inspire you? I don’t mean “Do they make you feel good?” Inspiration changes people. It motivates them. It spurs them into action. In my experience at the movies, 9 out of 10 that promise they will be “inspiring” … aren’t inspiring. (It may be closer to 99 out of 100.) Films that are marketed that way usually conform to simple storytelling formulas about determination and the power of “the human spirit,” mining... Read more
