Well, it's that time of year again, so I'd like to wish all the followers of this blog a very happy and safe Christmas. There's a bumper crop of music posted for you today. The usual two blues/R&B compilations, plus volume 96 in the Assorted Hillbilly & Country Recordings, and Bob's Christmas Special with 40 great tracks for your listening pleasure over the Christmas period. There's some mighty fine recordings in this Christmas collection. Some of the highlights include Victoria Spivey's version of Christmas Morning Blues. This song was originally done by Kansas City Kitty, but I just love Spivey's version. And Sonny Boy Williamson II's romping "Santa Claus" which finds Sonny Boy going through his girlfriend's dresser drawers looking for his Christmas present. I've followed the format of this blog when putting this Christmas collection together, so there's something for everyone here: blues, R&B, soul, jazz, hillbilly, country, rock & roll are all featured. So dig in my friends and enjoy. I know most of you will be busy over the Christmas holidays period so I won't make any more posts for a few days.
