Yule Shoot Your Eye Out!

Let's hop in the WABAC machine for today's song. It's from one of my all-time favorite Christmas compilations, on the late, lamented Jass label; Santa Claus Blues is a great mix of early Blues and Jazz 78s. One of the songs on it I really enjoy and that, to my knowledge, hasn't been re-released elsewhere is by Dick Robertson and His Orchestra (featuring Bobby Hackett on the cornet).

I Want You for Christmas (1937)

I just Googled this CD and apparently it goes for big bucks these days. Or at least dealers are asking big bucks. Crazy.
