Christmas Blues, cover Bob Dylan, Up to date with video

[Jean Pierre]

The Christmas Blues

Words by Sammy Cahn. Music by David Jack Holt.
First released in October 1953 by Dean Martin.

I'm happy to "open the ball" of the Yule festival 2021
...and I continue my little series of Christmas songs

This one is a little gem from Bob Dylan
It's a rather sad blues of a lonely old guy for Christmas...so I took my old bluesman voice slightly alcoholic (wisky only) to sing it

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year to all and be well 

[StephenM]

I absolutely love your singing on this one!!!  And I really am not ready yet for this season but by God you are dragging me right into it!!!f
That bass guitar is fantastic and fits so well with that drum....
and the whole thing is great JP...

[Jean Pierre]

In fact this song is not from Dylan, ...it's in his 2009 Christmas in the heart cover album
The song is by Sammy Khan and David Jack Holt

it's a cover of cover

[TPB]

Ho Ho Merry Christmas and what a nice way to start up the fest
Bravo Brother

[Jean Pierre]

thank you all guys,

Iit's a sad song (a blues...) that reminds me a bit "Nobody knows you when you down and out... so have a good Christmas anyway, if you are lucky enough not to be alone...

I'm normally ready for Christmas a week after it's all over. A fine piece of Yule time blues.
