Blue Christmas - Heartless Bastards
Also on "Elvis' Christmas Album" (see last post) was |"Blue Christmas", one of those cantering, medium-paced Elvis numbers (like, for example, the classic "She's Not You") that should have been terrific but for some reason best known to Steve Sholes, the producer, was ruined by a terrible female backing line.
Widely covered, the best version of the song is by Cincinnati band Heartless Bastards. Singer (and guitarist) Erika Wennerstrom delivers the song simply, even resignedly, with no frills, letting the words and tune speak for themselves.
