How about a collection of Country Christmas tunes? Or at least a collection of Christmas tunes performed by country artists? Well, maybe they're country artists, it's a little hard to tell. Some of the names are familiar, but some aren't, and I suspect that some of them may just be close to the familiar artist name, but not exactly the same. Do you recognize all of these artists? Maybe? Give it a listen and let me know what you think. This is
Christmas Booty-Christmas With A Country Flavor (ERA BU 3900, Stereo, 1983). I pulled this one out of the shrink wrap, so I think the sound is really good here.

Nat Stuckey-Oh Come All Ye Faithful
2.
Billy Walker-White Christmas
3.
John Wesley Ryles-We Three Kings Of Orient Are
4.
Melba Montgomery-Hark, The Herald Angels Sing

Those are all country artists of the time, I think!
ReplyDeleteIt has been a very long day and maybe it's just because I'm exhausted but the title of this album made me laugh out loud.
ReplyDeleteah, yes. in these days of political and social correctness, when people are ready to criticize your every thought, word, and deed as measured against some abstract and unshared principle (they never criticize their own), it’s nice to see a vestige of former times when christmas presents could be given and received graciously from a smelly old boot. my uncle bud used to do this… candy canes around the room. did anyone complain? hell, no. not unless they wanted a swift, hard knock on the head. his boots weren’t just made for walkin’.
ReplyDeleteHere is an added bonus for people who read the comments. Henk has posted what he calls a super swinging Christmas album - from Shoji Suzuji & Rhythm Ace. The "Japanese Benny Goodman":
