Have A Very Merry Christmas
Bill Walters Sings Ruth Lyons Christmas Songs
Jewel Records JRC 86044
This is a great local lounge styled album.
Ruth Lyons was a local fixture on TV here in Cincinnati (hosting a variety show). She and her "gang" also produced a number of Christmas LPs. According to the notes, Walters was a cast member of Lyon's 50/50 Club for 20 years.
According to the notes, the cover illustration is inspired by the "title tune of the album", The Miracle At Christmas. Not actually a song, but a poem. The drawing was done by "another warm and sensitive person and good friend", Phil Ohlms. It was meant to capture "that very special meaning of Christmas".
WOW that is a bizarre cover for the musical content hiding within!
