Way Out West

Don't forget that I'm still out west celebrating Christmas with my in-laws and the blog is pretty much on autopilot. Hopefully nothing catastrophic has occurred in my absence. If you can't see this then you know something horrible has happened. (Don't worry, I'm checking in as frequently as I can, and if all has gone to plan I've been able to post a few travel pictures now and then to let you know how things are going.) Anyhow, in honor of my being out west, here's a Christmas record with a bit of a western theme for you. This is The Western Wind-Christmas In The New World (Music Heritage Society MHS 4077, Stereo, 1979). Most of the releases on this label feature much less colorful covers, so this is certainly an exception. In fact, I only recently got this record properly filed with the other Musical Heritage Records and then I decided to rip it just because it caught my attention. I hope it captures your attention as well. Enjoy!

  1. The Western Wind group still exists. It's a fairly well known ensemble. This is an attractive program from them.
