They have scoured through the old vinyl to find some of the most cherished holiday songs. In New Orleans, a jazz favorite with a Mississippi Delta sound. Armstrong sings an upbeat melody that draws listeners into a Southern Christmas. It fills the listener s head with ideas of cotton instead of snow, a barefoot choir and a Dixieland Santa Claus. Louis Prima changes things up next with Shake Hands With Santa Claus.
Prima belts out the song in a loud boisterous voice that commands attention.
The whole thing is set to a strong swing beat that encourages dancing. A few skips down the play list is a duet by Ann Margret and Al Hirt the sensational Baby, It s Cold Outside. These two play off each other in this sassy song, which calls you away from the snowy weather. The Merriest lightens up the mood with wishes to people who are lacking in the holiday spirit. Let It Snow really gets you in the mood for a snowy day.
