Since September 2010, this blog has recorded the journey of this music junkie as I attempt to listen to all the music in my CD collection. CDs revisited in their entirety from start to finish - no skipping tracks, no shuffle. Compact Discs only - no vinyl, no tapes, no files.

Various Artists - The Alligator Records Christmas Collection (1992)


Every year I swear I'm done buying Christmas CDs and every year I break that promise at some point in October or November. And if lying to myself puts me on the naughty list, I guess I'm going to take up permanent residency there. I've been listening to this wonderful blues collection of mostly uncommon Christmas tunes since it hit my mailbox in mid-October. Good stuff. Pairs well with An Austin Rhythm and Blues Christmas.

Personal Memory Associated with this CD: This year, we spent Halloween putting up our Christmas tree to bring a little joy to this year of national uncertainty. This disc was the soundtrack to that annual event, even though it occurred a wee bit early.
