Stony Plain's Christmas Blues

by N/A

Overview

Stony Plain's Christmas Blues, a various-artists collection, will not dampen the spirits at any festive holiday gatherings. The 14 tracks here are upbeat, cheerful Yuletide tunes. Duke Robillard kicks off the collection with a merry instrumental. He produced and features on a half-dozen of the tracks. Other highlights include Maria Muldaur with "No Money, No Honey," sleigh-bell-ornamented Kansas City blues from Jay McShann, and an authentic blues ballad from premier vocalist Jimmy Witherspoon. ~ Tom Schulte
