Various Artists - Even Santa Gets the Blues UHD (2009 - Rock) [Flac 24-88 SACD]
One thing is for sure. Christmas is not just one celebration among others, Christmas is THE ONE celebration of the year. There is no chance to escape ... a fact known to many a good musician. Christmas albums they've all done it. Facing this situation, you better bring a lot of sweet ingredients in order to create a completely new and completely different Christmas cake especially one from Stockfisch. Some stalwarts of Stockfisch records to this noble end have gathered around Eugene Ruffolo; white beards and scarlet coats they wear but watch out for their guitars! And finally they achieved the impossible task of creating a Christmas recording sounding like no other.
Swingle Bells there ain't no bells sounding sweeter. If you are a nonbeliever, then go and listen to Stille Nacht as guitar instrumental or a Christmas blues. And very well that Chris Jones is not forgotten, still playing on on these recordings, a plan which goes back for years in Stockfisch history. Tradition and the courage of creative innovators that's Stockfisch's gift to music lovers given as a trademark professionally and at this Christmas time given from the heart. Christmas may be Christmas every year, it comes alive forever new and warms the heart this is what music does, and certainly music like this.
