The New Possibility, by John Fahey. Actually, this was Fahey’s first Christmas album, and there were a number of follow-up albums, but you can get all the first and most of the second on a single CD with the same title. Fahey was a visionary and peripatetic American guitar player who has influenced practically everyone who happened to even walk near a guitar since. Starting out with his own label (Takoma) at a time when crating your own label was practically unheard of, he built an incredibly loyal following during the 1960s and thereafter that stayed with him until his death several years ago. Most of his albums were straightforward and blues-based, but he could get very experimental as well–the first half of Requia, for example, is straightforward guitar–the second side sounds like Charles Ives on drugs.
