A Christmas Yuleblog

I'm a sucker for old school country music - add Christmas to the mix and I'm off the charts. So when I saw this at my local Salvation Army, I gave it a looksee and discovered about 1/2 of the songs on this compilation are easily accessible elsewhere. However... the other five songs aren't available anywhere. And there's some great long lost stuff here from lesser known artists such as Hank Lochlin, John D.

Thankfully, Ernie (from Ernie Not Bert ) studied this album carefully and with his keen collector's eye saw the gold within and posted it on November 23, 2006 . As Ernie explained in his original post: "The only problem is that parts of this record have been released on CD. Several years ago, they took the Esquivel solo tracks, as well as the tracks on which he backs the Skip-Jacks, mixed in some LP tracks that had a holiday theme, added a rather merry non-holiday B-side, a couple of tracks by a famous swing-revival DJ featuring a voice-over from the bed-ridden Esquivel, and called it an Esquivel Christmas album . ...
