We wish you a groovy Christmas! Booker T. & The MGs record Christmas tunes in the classic STAX style. Probably one take, direct to tape. Recorded in October, released in November. Amazing. New to me, this one will get quite a few spins around this house this season and will be added to the usual Xmas CD rotation.
Peak on the US Billboard Top 200 chart: Did not chart, but regularly placed on the Christmas album chart for the remainder of the decade.
Tracks: 12 tracks in 34 minutes. They're all good - a big batch of holiday fun. STAX even released Jingle Bells as a single. It's also nice to get a gentle take on Sweet Little Jesus Boy since I don't hear that one much.
Personal Memory Associated with this CD: None. Don't know what took me so long to find this one.
