whitefang Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I already have about 50 CDs of Christmas music by various people. Some are re-issues of old Holiday albums that go back 60 years or so. I'm good. Whitefang I started out with NOTHING...and I still have most of it left!

d halfnote Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 Here to save this thread with the greatest Christmas song of all time: [video:youtube] Nice tune & great horn line (didn't fully penetrate the lyrix yet)...but maybe not the GREATEST. Good thing we live in a land where individual opinion, of yet at least, is allowed. Thanks for hipping me to this. GREAT horn lines. Bass is good too ! & Danz, that 1st track is pretty but the 2nd 1 is really Top O The Pops ! Love them clever musical conceptualists ! " & a strange little beat in 5/8". -------------- BTW & FWIW The Clinton, Blind Boys track above should also incl. Robt Randolph in credits. OOPS ! d=halfnote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertbluesman Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Way more than I can take, not much of a fan of Christmas music here...... (Other than White Christmas by Clyde McPhatter and The Drifters) dbm If it sounds good, it is good !! http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=143231&content=music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d halfnote Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 DBMan, I am betting that the blues-funk of the Blind Boys, Clinton & Robt Randolph track above will hit yer spot...but that Clyde McPhatter track's cool, too ! If the Clinton trak's too hot try this... [video:youtube] d=halfnote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it isn't as if I listen to them ALL YEAR LONG. I usually slap some in my 5-disc carousel CD player while putting up and decorating the tree(which for an obvious reason ISN'T going up this year). I usually go more for "traditional" versions of carols anyway. My favorite is still one I grew up with("Now Is The Caroling Season" -Fred Waring and His Pennsylvanians/1957). I'm not really interested in "post-punk" or "new wave" treatments of old traditional carols. Whitefang I started out with NOTHING...and I still have most of it left!
