ABOUT THE RECORD Originally issued on the Austin label in 1983, this rockin' release was reissued with a new cover on Epic in 1986. Standouts include The Fabulous Thunderbirds' spirited instrumental Rockin' Winter Wonderland and vocalist Kim Wilson pouring his harp and soul into Hop Wilson's Merry Christmas, Darling. Two of Austin's finest blues divas, Angela Strehli and Lou Ann Barton, turn in smokey and sultry covers of yule classics, but it is bassist/vocalist Sarah Brown who sizzles with her original My Christmas Is Hung with Tears.
