Aretha Franklin - I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You LP cover

Join us this week for a Time for the Blues Valentine's Day Special!  We'll play blues about romance for those in love and those who got the blues from being in love! Also, look for our repeat airing of last week's Gary Moore tribute show on March 4th due to the transmitter outage last weekend!

Time for the Blues - "Christmas Blues 2011" - Sun, 12/25/2011

          

          

       

  
The two Motown songs in this show, "Purple Snowflakes" and "Just a Lonely Christmas" were from our 1993 compilation CD titled "Christmas in the City."  We found that this CD is now very pricey at Amazon so we are recommending two seperate CD compilations, one featuring Marvin Gaye (with other Motown artists) and the other featurinig the Supremes that are much more affordable.

    
  • B. B. King / Christmas Celebration
  • Lonnie Brooks / All I Want for Christmas (Is to Be with You)
  • Roomful of Blues / Santa Claus, Do You Ever Get the Blues?
  • Shemeika Copeland / Stay a Little Longer, Santa
  • Marvin Gaye / Purple Snowflakes
  • The Supremes / Just a Lonely Christmas
