  • Description

    Whenever it's time for Santa Claus, tree trimming, and holiday celebrations, you can safely anticipate Bear Family assembling the perfect Yuletide soundtrack.

    Our 2024 holiday compilation focuses solely on vintage blues and R&B material, and it comes in two formats to please everyone.

    The vinyl version offers 14 festive tracks ranging from beloved classics from Clyde McPhatter's Drifters, B.B. King and Charles Brown to obscure gems by The Jackson Trio, blues guitarist Ralph Willis and Bay Area keyboardist Lonnie Hewitt, whose You've Been A Bad Little Girl is a Yuletide revelation.

    The CD collection adds 14 more holiday gems, including both sides of The Voices' jumping 1955 single (Santa Claus Boogie b/w Santa Claus Baby), John Greer's jolly We Wanna See Santa Do The Mambo, and Big Maybelle's spine-chilling rendition of the timeless Silent Night.

    This is the ultimate stocking stuffer that any dedicated R&B fan will be overjoyed to find under her or his Christmas tree.

    • Black music from the golden age of rhythm 'n' blues and blues, a balanced mix of well-known and obscure recordings.
    • Notes and biographical details from Chicago's Bill Dahl on each song in the illustrated, full-color booklet.
    • Carefully remastered original recordings in Bear Family's trademark brilliant sound quality.
