One of America's leading roadhouse combos covers a delicious batch of R&B Christmas songs, from Fats Domino's "I Told Santa Claus" to Jesse Belvin's "I Want You with Me Christmas" and Lowell Fulson's "I Want to Spend Christmas with You." Roomful of Blues give "White Christmas" a New Orleans sound and stay faithful to the rest of the tunes here, wielding their horns, guitars, and big beats in such standards as "Let It Snow" and "Run, Rudolph, Run." The only real surprise here is "Good Morning Blues"--and the fact that some of the covers sound a little too much like the originals. Odd given the fact that the coolest Christmas covers are the ones that have been reinvented. --Martin Keller

Customer Reviews

Quickly became my favorite holiday CD.
Played this CD as part of our office Christmas music for 1997. Everone raved about it and wanted to know where to get it. I have since transfered to another office but stopped in the old place last week to wish everyone a Merry Christmas; what was playing "Roomful of Christmas".

Add a little R&B to your Christmas
For not being nationally known these guys have sustained for a very long time. You won't hear me complain about their longevity. If you just want to stick this disk in your machine and listen intently, or turn it down and have it as background music, it's just good to hear. When it's Roomful of Blues, you can count on some great sounds.

Best Holiday CD!!!!
This is the CD I dust off every year and play as long as I possibly can! Sugar Ray Norcia and band are just fabulous! You'll be wishin' Christmas lasted longer too! Buy it, play it and you'll enjoy the holiday shopping and stress much more! And don't forget the champagne and egg nog! Cozy up by the fireplace with this hot CD and it'll be the best blues Christmas ever!
