Take 5 with Holiday Blues Music

This week I am not focusing on any specific performer, but rather a short playlist of holiday based blues.

We start with Blind Lemon Jefferson with Christmas Eve Blues.


 Next up is Louis Jordan with Santa Claus, Santa Claus.


Arguably the most famous blues associated with Christmas is Charles' Brown's, Merry Christmas Baby. Here is a live performance of Charles and Bonnie Raitt.



Here is Mabel Scott with Boogie Woogie Santa Claus.

 
Finally, one of my favorite recent holiday blues is Eddie C. Campbell's Santa's Messing With the Kid.


Happy Holidays everyone.
