For the black American,
Christmas has had a deep-rooted significance beyond that of the religious. Even in the days of slavery it was always the one festival on which a man was allowed to rest from his labours and to be with his family. Paul Oliver introduces a selection of the many blues records which feature
Christmas, including tracks by BUND LEMON JEFFERSON, BLACK ACE,
ROBERT NIGHTHAWK and JIMMY MCCRACKUN.
