The distinctive stylist Leon Redbone has kept much of America's blues and jazz music alive with his foggy baritone voice and understated manner. And that's what you get on Christmas Island; mostly popular standards with the exception of "That Old Christmas Moon," "Christmas Ball Blues," and " Kitty
Cat's Christmad,"-- a capivating calypso original penned by Leon and Blake Redbone. Dr. Kohn joins in gor a soulful and lively rendition of Frosty The Snowman," while Red Bone dutifully covers White and Blue Christmas, Let It Snow and Winyer Wonderland. Buy a highlight you won't want to miss is his version of "Toyland," sung with what best can be described as Redbone passion, embracing dashes of longing, noyalgia, and pleasure as deep as the voice that breathes life into a song about every kid's Christmas fantasy. The record is in near mint condition and the cover is very good because of a small amount of discoloration on the botyom. (See photos. This record is a great holiday find.
