2002 studio album by Patty Loveless
Bluegrass & White Snow: A Mountain Christmas is the twelfth album of original recordings by country music artist
Patty Loveless . The first half of the album comprises covers of well-known traditional Christmas tunes. There are new renditions of the familiar "Silver Bells" and "Christmas Time's a-Coming." There are also three new tunes, all co-written by Loveless and her producer-husband
Emory Gordy Jr. : "Santa Train," "Christmas Day at My House," and "Bluegrass, White Snow," the latter of which is supported by vocals from
Dolly Parton and
Ricky Skaggs . There is an instrumental track on the album, "Carol of the Bells." (This would be the only track on a Patty Loveless album on which Loveless herself is absent.) The album rose as high as #20 on the
Billboard Top Country albums chart.
