Edie Brickell, John Popper, Dale Watson, and David Garza lead the star-studded benefit disc Candlelight Carols, whose release offers a who’s who of fellow participants: Sara Hickman, Penny Jo Pullus, Jitterbug Vipers, and cosmic cowboy headliners Greezy Wheels. ’Tis the season for homegrown causes, 3pm. – Raoul Hernandez
