If you are bored of hearing Mariah, sick to death of Shakey, have experienced Whamageddon and even tiring of The Pogues, we have the perfect gift for you this Christmas.
Slim Jim Blues have put together the ultimate blues and associated musics Christmas playlist. So if you fancy a change, whilst still keeping it festive here you go.
Begin with the haunting harmonica of Charlie Musselwhite playing Silent Night before settling down for a story from old Tom Waits. Then up comes Big Maceo with his winter time blues and Seasick Steve explaining what it is like to be in the big house at this time of year.
Time to pour some bourbon in your eggnog and then gets come Christmas blues JLH style, before looking out for the missiles that could disrupt the festivities. Black Ace shows us that even Santa gets the blues before things get really weird.
Then another (different) Christmas Blues from Big Joe Williams, befor Pearl Bailey tell you what she wants for Xmas. Then it gets dirty, back to prison for a bit, more (different again) Christmas Time Blues and then Danny Barnes is all done.
Sister Rosetta Tharp reminds us of the religious basis of the festivities, but Canned Heat are less spiritual. Finally we head for Christmas in Dixieland before Lightning Hopkins wishes us all a happy new year.
Enjoy!
