Rare and very beautiful Christmas album recorded in 1966, by the legendary instrumental R&B/funk band Booker T. & the M.G.'s. With their unique, soulful groove, Jones, Cropper, Dunn and Jackson interpret 12 holiday classics, infusing each and every track with funk, taste and style. Enjoy a very special album that will guarantee the funkiest Christmas ever.
There's no reason to believe the little drummer boy didn't break into a danceable groove every now and again–and no cause to think that Christmas music has to be listened to from an easy chair. This legendary rhythm & blues combo spreads the spirit of the season in much the same way it did its many chart- toppers–with a greasy backbeat and a heaping helping of cool keyboards courtesy of Booker T himself. Originally issued in 1966, this disc lets the MGs strut through deftly arranged versions of Christmas standards like "Winter Wonderland" and "Silver Bells" with sass, class, and more than enough panache to keep it on your system through the New Year.TRACKLISTDavid Sprague
