Dec 9: Amber deLaurentis - All Year Long.
Our 1st guest spot of the year. @df1.bsky.social suggested this lovely folky number, Amber here waiting all year for Christmas to arrive, all lilting piano & dramatic drums.
Always happy to include recommendations. What's yours?

The 1st of a Christmas blues double bill, here's John moaning about being broke and drunk and having no woman for Christmas. Standard blues, then, and all the better for it. Though maybe not one for the party playlist.

As a glorious antidote to Hooker's complaining, floating in across the decades from 1925 Tennessee is the extraordinary Empress of the Blues, perhaps with one of the first ever recorded songs about being excited for Christmas.

Back on familiar indie territory now, and from 2012 here's Tender Trap with a fun festive song described as 'a ditty about a girl who discovers that her boyfriend is a creationist christian'. And is straight out of there!
