Country Christmas gets wrapped up boogie blues rockin' style thanks to The Tractors' Have Yourself a Tractor's Christmas. A little manipulative, perhaps, to redo their hit single "Baby Likes to Rock It" under the guise of "Santa Claus Is Comin' (In a Boogie Woogie Choo Choo Train)" but, with the exception of a coupl'a slow cookers, this blend of ...

Smokey Robinson & the Miracles
Christmas albums can be weak seasonal filler or they can be records that simply burst with good music; it simply depends on the artistry happening in the studio and the resources (namely, time) given the artist. Among studio musicians, the Miracles stood tall. Their Christmas output amounts to several contributions for Motown samplers and two full ...

Of the major R&B stars of the 1960s and '70s, Lou Rawls was the singer who seemed most comfortable slipping into the easy groove of Las Vegas-style lounge belting, which is no insult -- Rawls had both the voice and the musical instincts to sing straight-ahead soul, jazz, or supper club blues and sound perfectly at home in either camp.
