The other day, female member of my family stated, without any hesitation, that she hated Christmas! It was not my one and only, however. My in-law said she will not have Christmas anymore. She doesn't really mean that! I tried to cheer her up to no avail. We have two grandsons almost 8 and almost 3. Therefore, we are required to looove Christmas. Today's musical lineup is for all you Vagabond Christmas Cynics who may wallow in your down and out feelings on this Monday. Amazon has changed the entire process of gift purchasing for all ages. So, we should all be happy - no more wandering all over the mall anymore.
First Up - The King of Rock & Roll, Elvis, is joined by the great Country Star Martina McBride to perform one of the greatest Christmas tunes ever recorded for Christmas on his 1968 COME BACK SPECIAL seen by 48 million viewers on NBC! It was his first concert performance in seven years - BLUE CHRISTMAS.
Bonus Track - Winner of numerous Grammies, Keb' Mo' is referred to as a Post-Modern Blues Artist. He's been described as a living link to the seminal Delta Blues that travelled up the Mississippi River and across the expanse of America. This blues guitarist and singer performed at The Moon in Tallahassee February 2021. He was fabulous. Enjoy some sweet blues for Christmas as Keb' Mo' performs Merry Merry Christmas.
Bonus Track 2 - To quote one critic - "Joe Bonamassa is one of the greatest guitar players of his generation, Joe Bonamassa has almost single-handedly redefined the blues-rock genre and brought it into the mainstream." This amazing purveyor of some of the best blues you will ever hear was in our fair city January 2018. I missed it - Dang!
Turn it up for Joe Bonamassa - Lonesome Christmas!
All Vagabonds need to get happy for the Big Day coming in nine days! No blues allowed after today!
Merry Christmas
