The Ventures’ Christmas Album (1965) Holiday albums are amongst some of the top selling records of all time, which means lots of bands have a Christmas record. We are bombarded by them from the moment Halloween decorations leave the shelves. Keith’s pick is one of the few you may be able to stomach on repeat listen. The Ventures are a prolific & pioneering band, playing with pedals and effects to create sounds that to date had never been used in a music track. The band is made up of true craftsmen- they have the precision of the playing down pat and then become playful in mixing songs and genres. You can listen to the album on Spotify and purchase it on Amazon or iTunes. NEXT WEEK: We continue our topic with Jules’ pick, a movie that bombed, The Nutcracker in 3D.
