@ilikemiles, The Ventures Christmas album was the first xmas album I owned. The Mosrite guitars they played on the album have that great twangy sound they are known for (except for Johnny Ramones' ;-) . When I last saw them live (on a cruise ship tour to Mexico with Los Straitjackets), they were back to playing Fenders. Drummer Mel Taylor had passed away, but his son was now their drummer! The other three Ventures were still alive and playing okay, but not like when they were young. Los Straitjackets were much better.
Your Favorite Holiday Album
Figured it’s time to start this thread for this time of year ... so what album gets you into the holiday mood? Outside of the obvious (Guaraldi), one of my go-to faves is the original Argo pressings of the Ramsey Lewis Trio Sound of Christmas... both the mono and stereo mixes are great!
