Greetings all.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We continue our tunes for the holidays with the flipside of a Freddy King<\/strong> record I posted last year around this time \u2018I Hear Jingle Bells\u2019).<\/p>\n

This side is the bluesier, more melancholy \u2018Christmas Tears\u2019.<\/p>\n

Released in 1961, and written by pianist Sonny Thompson<\/strong> (who plays on the track) and R.C. Wilson<\/strong>, it features King as rock solid guitarist (the role for which he is best known) and as an excellent vocalist (the part of the equation that is often forgotten).<\/p>\n

King had a great tenor voice with enough flexibility to soar high into the rafters whenever he needed to.<\/p>\n

It is a groovy one, indeed, and I hope you dig it.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll be back right before Christmas\u00a0with the Funky16Corners Christmas Party Mix.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Until then, be safe, be jolly (and if you don\u2019t celebrate Christmas, just keep on being cool), and stay warm.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Keep the faith<\/strong><\/p>\n
