George Wright - "Christmas Time" (1962) - Dot Records
Hello Friends,
We're kicking our hi-fi holidays off in style this year with a great sounding LP by famed organist, George Wright.
Now there's no shortage of Christmas LP's that feature an organ as the featured or lone instrument, but in our opinion nothing beats George Wright's magic fingers swirling around on a Wurlitzer Pipe Organ.
The music here is imposing and big-sounding. Perfect for rallying the troops and just as a perfect for picking up the mood at early December cocktail party! There's not a lot of subtlety to be found on a record full of pipe organ music! Another high ball for Tiki T!
Some of the sounds coming off this record are so bonkers that even the liner notes feel compelled to clear things up:
"These are not multiple recordings; that no splicing has been done; that there has been no 'overdubbing'; in short, incredible as it may seem, that these are complete and original live performances..."
FUN FACT: In addition to playing hundreds of theaters and recording dozens of albums in the 50's & 60's, Wright might be best known for his work as studio organist on the ABC soap opera, General Hospital in the 60's & 70's.
