Americana-blues favorites, Christopher Wyze & The Tellers are turning up the holiday cheer with the release of two brand-new Christmas songs, “Christmas In Jail” and “Hearts Christmas Blue.” Following the success of their award-winning albums, ‘Stuck in the Mud,’ and ‘Live In Clarksdale,’ the band delivers a mix of humor and heart just in time for the season.
“Christmas In Jail,” recorded by both Leroy Carr and Scrapper Blackwell, is a traditional 12-bar blues tune that tells a story of a man spending Christmas behind bars, hoping Santa will pay him a visit, while “Hearts Christmas Blue” features acclaimed British blues artist Emma Wilson in a soulful duet that captures the ache of being apart from a loved one during the holidays. Together, the two tracks showcase the band’s signature blend of storytelling, grit, and emotion, proving once again why Christopher Wyze & The Tellers are one of the most compelling new voices in modern blues.
“Christmas and the blues, they go together,” shares Wyze. “After all, who doesn’t get a little sentimental this time of year? Better days gone by…friends and loved ones no longer with us…that’s the blues. “Hearts Christmas Blue” tells that story. In “Christmas in Jail” we hear from someone who’s away from home for the holidays – no family, no Santa. That, too, is the blues.”
