VARIOUS ARTISTS - DEATH MAY BE YOUR CHRISTMAS GIFT
death is not the end 2015, edition of ?
now this is my kind of christmas music, old crusty blues is a particular passion of mine, and this compilation passes muster in both depth and scope, a most curious examination of year end holiday themed pre-war recordings - gritty gospel, moonlit pop ballads and barrelhouse blues tunes far removed from any modern concept of holiday music, by more than just the passage of time, the better part of a century - to me this kind of music is not just another time, not just another place, but a vivid survey of a bygone era, a brief window in spacetime that is forever past, there will never be more music like this, what there is, is all there is - i'm not much for holiday sentiment but i can get behind a comp like this any day of the year and twice on christmas
