Emmylou Harris' album "Light of the Stable: Boulder to Birmingham" is a beautiful collection of Christmas classics and original songs that showcase her stunning vocals and songwriting ability. The album features a mix of traditional songs like "Silent Night" and "O Little Town of Bethlehem," as well as lesser-known tracks like "The First Noel" and "Christmas Time's A Coming."

One of the standout tracks on the album is the title track, "Light of the Stable," which features Harris' angelic voice accompanied by a hauntingly beautiful arrangement of strings and guitar. Another highlight is "Beautiful Star of Bethlehem," which showcases Harris' ability to infuse traditional songs with her own unique style and interpretation.

The album also includes the classic Harris track "Boulder to Birmingham," which is a powerful and emotional tribute to her late friend and collaborator Gram Parsons. The song's heartfelt lyrics and Harris' soulful vocals make it a standout track on the album.
