There are certainly a lot of choices out there nowadays for all types of Christmas music from numerous Artists from Bing Crosby to Jethro Tull. Yes Jethro Tull also has a Christmas CD called Jethro Tull Christmas Album, with a Bonus DVD. Now just in time for the Christmas Season, one of the finest soulful blues singers around, brings us his great new release, "Rhythm And Blues Christmas".

"Rhythm And Blues Christmas" is the follow-up to "Rhythm and Blues Experience", which was Voted Best CD of 2009 for the Hamilton Blues Lovers, Best Rhythm & Blues Album in Canada by the Blues Underground Network 2009, and Nominated for "Blues Record of the Year" at The Hamilton Music Awards 2009.

"Rhythm And Blues Christmas" consists of 8 Tracks, all classic songs, which the Album Notes describe as having that "extra kick of Rhythm & Blues, Funk, and Swing decorated by a 6 piece band with a trumpet and saxophone", just what the doctor ordered.

Andre Bisson is certainly one of the best Rhythm And Blues Singers around and it only takes a few moments of the first track of "Rhythm And Blues Christmas", to notice that fact. His voice has been compared to the likes of Wilson Pickett, Otis Redding, and Sam Cooke and his other skills in arranging, playing guitar, and savvy business knowledge, makes for a very enterprising, well rounded, and highly sought after Artist. "Rhythm And Blues Christmas" shows off most of those qualities to the highest degree. 

From the opening notes of "Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer" to the closing seconds of "Ain't To Proud To Beg", "Rhythm And Blues Christmas" proves to be one of the better choices out there for Christmas Albums this year and one that is sure to see the trusty old CD Player for many Yuletide Seasons to come.

"Rhythm And Blues Christmas" is a fine Christmas Album, one I feel quite comfortable recommending for those that like their Christmas music with an added Dasher of spice.

5***** for this great Rhythm and Bluesy Album... Thoroughly Enjoyed....
