This Time Of Year

Add to Cart$10.99 ... CD
List Price: 11.98
CD (Item 399969) Capitol/Collectors Choice, 1961 -- Condition: New Copy

June Christy's rarest album -- and one of the saddest Christmas records you'll ever buy! The set features all original tunes written for the album by the team of Connie Pearce and Arnold Miller -- and they're perfectly suited for June's late boozy style, much more lanquid than on earlier bouncier recordings, filled with sadness and darkness, working with these holiday tunes to conjure up all the depression that most of us often feel at the end of the year. Pete Rugolo arranged to perfection -- and titles include "This Time Of Year", "Seven Shades Of Snow", "Winter's Got Spring Up Its Sleeve", "Hang Them On The Tree", "The Little Star", and "Sorry To See You Go".  © 1996-2009, Dusty Groove America, Inc.
