From Amazon.com
Blue Yule is without question one of the hippest collections of rhythm & blues Christmas music ever assembled. The disc boasts the likes of Louis Jordan, John Lee Hooker, the gospel-powered Pilgrim Travelers, and Johnny and Edgar Winter, as well as the likes of Detroit Junior ("Christmas Day") and Canned Heat ("Christmas Blues"). Lengthy even by contemporary CD standards, this 18-tracker also includes Charles Brown, Big Jack Johnson, Roy Milton, and the inscrutable Lightnin' Hopkins wishing you both "Merry Christmas" and "Happy New Year." But perhaps the set's greatest gift is also it's strangest--Sonny Boy Williamson's "Santa Claus," a rousing midtempo blues-rocker with a biting harp break and weird, funky lyrics about Sonny Boy going through his wife's drawers. --Martin Keller

This music makes you forget the Blues at Christmas November 18, 2000
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I have this album. There are various artists, some well known. But at Christmas time, I play it non-stop. The John Lee Hooker track, Blues For Christmas will rock your socks off. There is plenty of howlin and screamin about heartache and Santa Claus to make you feel the Christmas blues. It is so much fun, you'll forget it is the blues. But you won't forget it next year when you play it again and again. I look forward to the holidays, and I wish there was more of Texas Pete Mayes, Roy Milton, and Canned Heat on albums instead of the awful trite Christmas music that fills the stores. Wear your headphones shopping and listen. You'll love it!
