Most of the pre-war Christmas blues recordings have been collected on our first two anthologies but there are a few leftover gems by Bumble Bee Slim, Victoria Spivey, Lil McClintock and Walter Davis. From the post- war era some fine Christmas blues from Leadbelly, Amos Milburn, B.B. King, Jimmy McCracklin, John Lee Hooker and Thelma Cooper. We hear from a fine contingent from the Lone Star State including Lightnin' Hopkins, Hop Wilson and Freddy King. We turn our attention to the religious side with selections by Rev. JM Gates, Rev. D.C. Rice, Magnolia Five, The Fairfield Four and the Spartanburg Famous Four. Jumping across the tracks we spotlight some fine country and rockabilly performers including Joe Poovey, Cordell Jackson, Fiddling' John Carson, Coy McDaniel \u0026amp; Shorty Warren, the Davis Sisters and Vernon Dalhart. If you're talking about country, real country music, the first of what we know today as \"country music\" was broadcast by radio and recorded for phonograph by Fiddlin' John Carson. We bring you a batch of Christmas vocal group numbers I know all too well by the Penguins, The Ravens, The Five Keys, The Larks, Billy Ward and His Dominoes, The Youngsters and The Jackson Trio. In the late 1940's, early 1950's the clear delineation between blues, R\u0026amp;B and vocal group music got a little fuzzy with groups becoming harder to classify, eventually morphing into rock and roll. From that era, we feature holiday platters by Dee Dee Ford and Oscar McLolli. We jump to the jazz side of the street with selections by Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Jordan, the Wardell Gray\/Dexter Gordon Quintet and a pair by Duke Ellington\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChristmas Is Coming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGettin' Ready for Christmas Day\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Ain't Gonna Let You See My Santa Claus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlues for Christmas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGood Morning Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJingle Jangle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Holy Baby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGo Tell It to the Mountain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRock and Roll Christmas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChristmas Choo Choo Train\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Christmas Boogie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Need a Man\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChristmas Time Part 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSanta Claus Bring Me a New Woman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBaby It's Cold Outside\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChristmas Comes Once a Year\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChristmas Tears\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSanta's Helper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChristmas Time Will Soon Be Over\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJingle Jangle Jump\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSanta\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChristmas Time - Part 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMerry Christmas Darling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSugar Rum Cherry (Dance of the Sugar-Plum Fairy)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhite Christmas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat Do You Call That Wonderful Counsellor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGo Where I Send Thee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSilent Night\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChristmas in Jail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJingle Bell Hop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBe-Boppers Christmas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSanta Claus That's Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDon't Think I'm Santa Claus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew Santa Clause\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChristmas Celebration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChristmas to New Year's\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt's Christmas Time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFar Away Christmas Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRinging in a Brand New Year\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Secret of Christmas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"128","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":50570624565544,"sku":"71429832182","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/3833\/7576\/files\/2347321.jpg?v=1763989112","url":"https:\/\/waterloorecords.com\/products\/va-christmas-blues-blues-christmas-v-3-cd-71429832182","provider":"Waterloo Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
