Christmas 'Round The Jukebox - A Blues And R&B Christmas Celebration [ORIGINAL RECORDINGS REMASTERED]
Here is a Christmas celebration attended by some of the greatest names in R&B. From the late 40s to the early 50s the biggest names in Blues including B.B. King, Amos Milburn, Charles Brown, Jimmy Witherspoon, Lowell Fulton, Roy Milton, The Drifters, Joe Turner and Chuck Berry sing their Christmas favourites. Being the blues of course, many of the songs emphasise how lonely Christmas can be without the one you love whilst others celebrate the holiday season with joyful songs and new versions of standards like "Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer" and "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town". Many of these records constantly reappeared on the R&B sales every year. Some like Charles Brown's original million selling "Merry Christmas Baby" were still selling well into the soul era. Depending on your mood you can preselect these titles, pour a large Brandy and wallow in the depressive elements of a lonely Christmas or roll back the carpet, put another nickel in the jukebox and have a Rockin' Christmas celebration. Either way works!
