VA- A Country Christmas

DSCN3598This was $3.00.  I don’t like it when labels lump folk music on country compilations.  The inclusion of Burl Ives and The New Christy Minstrels is evidence of this.  Otherwise, there are some good moments on the album with Marty Robbins, Tammy Wynette, and Ray Price.

For a sample I went with this rolling number from country singer Stonewall Jackson.  Here is “Blue Christmas”. My favorite song on the record, however, is Tammy Wynette doing a song I posted last month, “Count Your Blessings”.  It really isn’t Christmas, per se, but here it is as well.  I think it is the best track on the record.
