Something a little Different this Week, there will be a Couple of Christmas Mixes over the next Couple of Weeks, but this Week I thought I would Post My Favorite All-Time Christmas Album! 



It was Originally Released in 1983 by the Greatest Soul Singer of All-Time “Al Green” and it was Called “The Christmas Album” It was then Released again some 3 Years later with a Different Title “White Christmas”  



In fact there has been a Few Different Versions of the Album, Released over the Years, some with Different Cover Shots and some with an addition of Different Tracks, but in the Main its the same Great 9 Tracks!


It was once Released on White Vinyl a few Years ago, it was once Paired with a Christmas Selection of Songs from Jackie Wilson. Whatever Version you have this Christmas Album, Al Green  still Sounds Great.

All the Songs on the Album are Seasonal Favorites, Apart my Favorite Track “What Christmas Means To Me” and that was Written by Moses Dillard / Sharon Michalsky / Chiquita Mullins & Claude Hill, this is a Great Track!


One of the Song Writer’s Moses Dillard also Plays Guitar on the Album.


The only Downside to the Album, is it Plays for Less than 30 Minutes! probably wont get away with that these Days!


The Album was Recorded in 1983 at the American Music Studio, in Memphis Tennessee USA.

Personnel Included: Al Green (vocals); Moses Dillard, Thomas Bingham (guitar); Archie (strings); Jesse Butler (keyboards); Carl Marsh (synthesizer); Ray Griffin (bass); Steve Potts (drums); Linda Jones, Harvey Jones, Debra Carter (background vocals).
