The Soulful Strings – The Magic Of Christmas

Released in 1968 on Cadet Records, The Magic Of Christmas is certainly one of the grooviest collections of holiday recordings I’ve encountered. Where else will you find a rendition of Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairy featuring an electric sitar solo? Or a funky take on Santa Clause Is Coming To Town featuring what I believe to be a plucked cello, but sounds a bit like a scat singing rubber band? This is one LP no holiday season should be without. Keep your eyes peeled for a copy in the thrift shop bins, or try one of the following links for an mp3 version.
