09-Christmas Blues

 
Another day, another selection of Christmas 78s from The Internet Archive. A slightly small set today, but a good one as it features all blues records! Well, at least songs that feature Blue in the title. You'll have to decide for yourself how many of these songs are actually blue enough for you. I think you'll enjoy them all anyway, I was very happy to be able to find so many classic old records to share with you.  Enjoy!

1. Floyd Dixon With Johnny Moore's Three Blazers-Empty Stocking Blues
2. Jimmy Collett-I Don't Want To Be Alone For Christmas

  1. Nice collection! It's the first time I've seen Jo Stafford and Hugo Winterhalter classified as blues artists, but I won't quibble.

  2. Blue/Blues, same thing. Not sure how that Jimmie Collett got in there though...

  3. Sonny Boy's Christmas Blues is one of the best in the Christmas Blues world. A gem! I vaguely remember reading somewhere that Elmore James is playing guitar on that track. Thanks for everything.
    Cheers!

  4. Well, Jo might not be a blues artist but that is one fine arraignment and of course, her vocals are spot on beautiful eh?
