Three Perfect Songs for Thanksgiving
Three Perfect Songs for Thanksgiving
During the fall season, Christmas music can be heard at retail stores across America months before the holiday arrives. Christmas-themed music is popular, with no shortage of options, from classics like Bing Crosby’s “White Christmas” to favorites like Frank Sinatra’s rendition of “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.”

According to data gathered by Cloud Cover Music, the average holiday music enthusiast listens to “65 hours and 24 minutes of holiday music each year ... the equivalent of two days, 17 hours, and 24 minutes of listening.”

While Christmas is known for its music, one of its neighboring holidays, Thanksgiving, has its own cornucopia of musical options celebrating the scrumptious occasion. Thanksgiving is known for its turkey and pumpkin pie, but music can add the perfect ingredient to round out any holiday.

Country music pairs well with Thanksgiving celebrations. Common themes from the genre center around a gratitude for life, love of family, and a focus on traditions, including the holidays. Featuring songs by classic country artists and contemporary voices of the genre, these three country songs (and some honorable mentions) go well with the fall holiday’s family festivities.

A ‘Thanksgiving Prayer’

We’ve come to the time in the season
When family and friends gather near
To offer a prayer of Thanksgiving
For blessings we’ve known through the year

In 1994, country great Johnny Cash made another guest appearance on the popular primetime drama “Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman.” The show was a mainstay of 1990s’ television and starred Jane Seymour as Michaela Quinn. Nicknamed “Dr. Mike,” Quinn played a doctor in post-Civil War America who moves to a Western frontier town in Colorado Springs to help care for the community.
