Harrison Kennedy on Santa's Got Mojo 2 CD
Electro-Fi's latest Christmas compilation, Santa's Got Mojo 2 has many of the top blues acts in Canada layin' out some fantastic festive funkiness.
Hamilton's own blues legend, Harrison Kennedy, offers up Hot Cider Cinnamon, a soulful, haunting, beautiful Christmas song about holiday memories.
Harrison's joined by Fathead (they have 2 tracks on the disc), Chris Whiteley, Shakura S'aida, Julian Fauth, Fruteland Jackson, Morgan Davis and many more with their own wonderful, original songs. No sappy, dull carols in the lot. This CD is filled with soul, swing and funk.
To cap things off is an amazing bonus track with the late, great Mel Brown and the Homewreckers playing the classic Merry Christmas Baby.
You can purchase the CD at the Electro-Fi site or download it through iTunes or eMusic.
Below are a few videos of tracks from the CD

New Andre Bisson CD: Rhythm and Blues Christmas

Andre and friends take traditional tunes and add a major dose of R&B. Rudolph, Silent Night (which is anything but), Jingle Bells and more are given a great rump-shaking twist. The Christmas tunes end with a wonderful bluesy version of Please Come Home for Christmas.
As a holiday gift there's something old and something new at the end of the collection: Two bonus tracks - Free Ride Blues from his previous CD, Rhythm and Blues Experience, and a great version of Ain't Too Proud to Beg from the upcoming album Beyond the Covers.
This great yuletide disc is available at their amazing live shows and through cdbaby (CD/Download)
