Continuing our series of JIM REEVES' Seasonal songs, here's the tall Texan with a rendition of BLUE CHRISTMAS that actually fits the mood of the song. (ELVIS PRESLEY's version is too much of a 'toe-tapper' for my tastes, good as it is.)
A cascading cornucopia of cool comics, crazy cartoons, & classic collectables - plus other completely captivating & occasionally controversial contents. With nostalgic notions, sentimental sighings, wistful wonderings, remorseful ruminations, melancholy musings, rueful reflections, poignant ponderings, & yearnings for yesteryear. (And a few profound perplexities, puzzling paradoxes, & a bevy of big, beautiful, bedazzling, buxom Babes to round it all off.)

Kid, do you remember the Shakin' Stevens version from Christmas 1982, it reached #2. That was the first time I heard this song.
ReplyDeleteIndeed I do - it was very similar to Elvis's version, I thought.
ReplyDeleteThe Shakey version was on the very first " Now that's what I call music - the Xmas album! ", which we bought on vinyl, back in '85. I remember putting it on, on Christmas morning and turning the volume up dead loud at the very point where Noddy Holder screeches, " IT'S CHRIIIIIIISTMAS!! "
ReplyDeleteI bought the Slade Christmas CD a few years back, JP - just to have that famous track.
