8 Days of Xmas: The Three Suns - "A Ding Dong Dandy Christmas" (1959)

The Three Suns - "A Ding Dong Dandy Christmas" (1959) - RCA Victor

Hello Friends,

Fill that collins glass to the tippy top and grab some tinsel because we're Ding Dong Dandy'ing 'til the wee hours with The Three Suns.  From the awesome cover art to the music contained in the grooves, this is an outstanding Christmas LP.  Perfect for a festive and space age tiki party on the moon!

In addition to the usual organ, accordion & guitar interplay, the Suns also employ some swinging drums, some bells, chimes, an oboe and two (count 'em) tubas!

Every track is awesome and it sounds like no other Christmas LP we've ever heard!  Plus, check out that cover!  Looks like some holiday cheer is about to spread!  

FUN FACTS: Hey kids, did you know that The Three Suns were the favorite band of First Lady Mamie Eisenhower!  

RATING: 5 Ding Dong Dandys out of 5
