Captain Christmas and the Winter Solstice Singers - Christmas Boogie Woogie (Edit)

about

Short version edit

Discovered on a rare 78 rpm disc intended to be used on Harry Smith’s never-released Anthology of American Folk Music Volume 5: Holiday Songs. While both the Captain and the Solsticers were popular in their own right (and styles), this is the only known record of them together. It should be noted that Mr. John Hartford later used a very similar vocal styling on his Aeroplane album for the composition “Boogie.”
