Though she passed away in the summer of 2012, I'll be spending Christmas day with the "Queen of Country Music" via her 1962 Christmas LP. You can see a list of all the albums Kitty Wells released on the Decca label by clicking here.

Wonderful. Kitty's simple homespun hillbilly rendition of Blue Christmas is sublime.
Yay! If only my parents listed to THESE carols, instead of the late 90s pop covers. Then maybe I wouldn't mind all the holiday music all the time =)
Also, I believe the Jordonaiires were often backup for Elvis, right? Hang, on lemme Google it...
