6 Days of Thanksgiving Records:Sufjan Stevens and Hark! Songs for Christmas

Yes this is actually a Christmas album but it also contains the song "Come Thou Fount" and it is a traditional Thanksgiving Hymn. So this closes out the 6 Days of Thanksgiving records. I hope you enjoyed it.

6 Days of Thanksgiving Records:John Lennon and Whatever Gets You Thru The Night

Not really a Thanksgiving song but it was preformed live on Thanksgiving Day on November 28, 1974 at Madison Square Garden. Elton John signs on the record with John Lennon. Elton told Lennon the song was a #1 hit. Lennon didn't think so and said if it did he would preform it live at one of Elton's concerts. It became the only solo #1 in America that Lennon had during his lifetime when it topped the Billboard Chart on November 16,1974 for one week. So Lennon made good on his promise. It was the last time Lennon preformed live before a rock and roll audience. That night at the concert Yoko Ono was also in attendance and she and John get back together after nearly a year and a half separation.

6 Days of Thanksgiving Records:Arlo Guthrie and Alice's Restaurant

This popular album was released in 1967. By now almost everyone knows the title song was based on the true story of a very bad Thanksgiving day that Arlo Guthrie had in 1965. With his wit and humor the song comes off as very funny.

6 Days of Thanksgiving Records:David Crowder Band All I Can Say

This is an album by the Christian Rock group the David Crowder Band. On this album is the song "Come Thou Fount." It is a traditional Thanksgiving Day hymn so I thought I would post it here for 6 days of Thanksgiving Records.
