A CHRISTMAS POSTCARD

This is the mix that started this giant project. A good friend of mine had sent on a mini-mix of a few songs, including Mel Torme's version of his signature tune, the Shane MacGowan tune (accompanied by the Popes), and a few selections from the greatest Christmas compilation of all time - 1968's Soul Christmas on Atlantic Records. I looked around and quickly augmented the playlist and the rest is history. As with all future mixes, a heavy lean on classic country cuts, some soul and R&B, and a novelty song here and there.
