Blues For Christmas parts 1 & 2




I have to admit ... This is my all-time favorite Christmas music ... and that's saying a lot, since I've been collecting all kinds of Christmas music for quite a while now. I never tire of it. It fascinates me to no end!

These vintage Blues Christmas songs are not only the most fun to listen to, but they're also the most truthful and heartfelt holiday songs I've ever heard. 


Also, I really love and appreciate how these Blues artists from yesteryear chose to write their OWN original Christmas songs as opposed to simply covering the overplayed, run-into-the-snow traditional ones. It's a truly refreshing and enticing audio treat.

I could go on and on, but I'll stop there! You just have to experience it for yourself! I'm just glad that I could make a 2 part mixtape that collects the best of the most poignant and austere holiday music ever recorded!
Here here!!!


*** Merry Christmas one and all!!! ***
