Blues, Blues Christmas 1925 - 1955 Various artists
Double album with full colour 20 page booklet by Jeff Harris.

After these recordings it was off to the races with numerous Christmas blues numbers recorded by singers of all stripes, a pace that continued as blues evolved into R&B and then rock and roll.
