I'm Gonna Lasso Santa Claus
Viper
BLUES
After the success of ’Papa Ain’t No Santa Claus, Mama Ain’t No Christmas Tree’ (VIPERCD 019) the VIPER Label decided to delve into the Festive music of the past once again, to see what goodies could be found, unearthing more Christmas gifts and delights dating from the 1920’s to the 1950’s, most of which had been forgotten - until now. And what a swinging collection it is!
Whether it be Blues, Rock ’n’ Roll, Jazz or Doo-Wop all these songs have an irresistible charm, guaranteed to make that Christmas party swing. They range from guitar instrumentals (electric guitar innovator LES PAUL performing a version of ’Jingle Bells’ that must be heard to be beleived), through to the Hawaiian influenced (THE DINNING SISTERS with BOB ATCHER ’Christmas Island’) and to Cowboy music! (TEX RITTER - ’Christmas Carols by The Old Corral’)
Other artists featured include LIGHTNIN’ HOPKINS, BESSIE SMITH, THE RAVENS, LOUIS PRIMA, LEO WATSON and many more.
About the only xmas CD out there just for roots music fans!
Released by one of the world’s best roots labels, VIPER - home of ‘The Song Before The Song’, ‘Banged Up’ & ‘The Roots Of Rock’.
