Artist: VA | Album: The Alligator Records Christmas Collection | Released: 1992 | Label: Aligator records | Catalog #: ALCD XMAS9201 | Genre: Blues, Christmas | Duration: 00:51:51
This compendium of holiday tunes performed by various artists in the Alligator Records stable has become one of my favorite Christmas albums. Featuring performers like the fabulous Koko Taylor, Elvin Bishop, and Saffire, it provides a get-down alternative to the saccharine fare being offered up by so many labels. Without exception, the cuts are distillations of each artist’s style – complete with humorous double entendres and top-notch production.
