This treasure trove of seasonal themed songs radiates the passion, both secular and sacred, and rates as a world-class assemblage of holiday soul/R&B rarities. With such gems as “Santa Don't Always Bring Happiness,” a rich serving of pure, old school blues-tinged deep soul from sensational New Orleans outfit Little Hulon Vining & the Hill Billies, Betty Everettʼs superb “Just Another Winter,” classic cuts from legends like the Drifters and James Brown, not to mention the sanctified sizzle of great gospel groups like the Soul Stirrers, Salem Travelers and Sister Lucille Pope & the Pearly Gates, itʼs an irresistible mixture of uplifting spirituals and get-down-&-get-with-it truth telling. With such roaring R&B marvels as Clyde Lasley & the Cadillac Baby Specialsʼ “Santa Came Home Drunk,” and Vernon Garrett with Sir Stan & the Counts funky, wah-wah workout “Christmas Groove,” this collection will definitely have you shouting out with glee.
