SOUNDS OF WINTER SOLSTICE AND THE HOLIDAYS
It's the season of cold weather, darkness, solstice, and... holidays. Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa and New Years ahead. A time of celebration and contemplation, family and friends but also some broken hearts and Christmas blues. From cold weather and cold-hearted blues of Snooky Pryor, Big Maceo and Aretha Franklin to the warm side of the season with Louis Jordan and Ella Fitzgerald, Wille Nelson and Elvis. And Hanukkah sounds from Bela Fleck and Andy Statman. Plus, we explore Santa's exploits, fallibility, and possibility with songs from Baltimore's Fat Daddy, Tampa Red and Tennessee Ernie Ford. Merry Xmas and more from American Routes!
