Mike Solof - Riding With The Kings At Christmas (2019)

As a special Christmas treat Mike has sent me a show that he put together to celebrate the festive season when he was working in a little bar in Medellin, Colombia. He used to do a weekly show from the bar that was built around his love of the blues, and at the end of 2019 he produced this show with a Christmas blues theme. The title of the show was inspired by the B. B. King & Eric Clapton album of the same name, hence the cover.

  2. Since you've stripped parts from various songs & albums, I've always personally HATED the "Ooo-eee-oooo" backing vocals on Elvis's "Blue Christmas," feeling like they sound like people mocking it.
