More details at: http://tinyurl.com/gter36s What better way to celebrate Christmas than with the Blues! Of course! Oscar McLollie wants you to "Dig That Crazy Santa Claus," while Blind Blake is having those "Lonesome Christmas Blues." Meanwhile, Bessie Smith may be "At the Christmas Ball," but as the Rev. Edward W. Clayborn might ask, is this "The Wrong Way to Celebrate Christmas"? The Revs. A.W. Nix and J.M. Gates have cheerful but cautionary tales about Christmas, while Charley Jordan is busy putting the finishing touches on his Holiday feast. The Black Ace (and a host of others) simply want their baby back for Christmas, Tampa Red has the Christmas AND New Year's Blues (trying to cover all the bases, so to speak), while Jesse Thomas has his "Christmas Celebration" all planned out. Gus Jenkins is fondly remembering last Christmas, while Titus Turner is looking forward to "Christmas Morning," Freddie King is busy hearing Jingle Bells, and Sonny Boy Williamson gets in trouble (what else?) while going on a rampage around the house looking for his Christmas presents. Al King is lamenting the departure of Christmas after having spent too much (who's ever had that problem?), while Nappy Brown lets us know that "Santa Claus Is Back in Town," and Eddie C. Campbell thinks that Santa may just be messin' with the kid! All that and more on this spectacular Holiday-themed episode of Blues Unlimited!
