The best Thanksgiving mix doesn’t have to be thematic — as with all
music that accompanies a gathering like the one Thanksgiving requires,
it should be easy to listen to, unrecognizably pleasant: background
music.
But our goal here isn’t necessarily to give you songs to
accompany the event. It’s to get you thinking about what the holiday
should really be about: gratitude, gatherings, the changing of seasons
and partaking of food and drink together. After all, Thanksgiving’s
roots are dubious at best, so instead of pretending the holiday is a
sincere one, you’ve got to try to make it about love and sharing presently. Also, these songs could at least make a really, really good cooking soundtrack.
