".....In 1975, he recorded his only Christmas album (A Christmas With Johnny Adams - Ace 2046) which has since been re-released on vinyl in 1987 as Maison de Soul LP-1023 with a different cover, then in a 1993 CD by Ace with the original LP cover, and again as a 1994 CD by Mardi Gras Records with still another cover and the title changed to Christmas In New Orleans.
His effortless handling of a mix of traditional carols and some of the more memorable Pop/R&B Christmas tunes ever written, all recorded at New Orleans' Sea Saint Studio and produced here with excellent sound reproduction and new and informative liner notes written by Jeff "Almost Slim" Hanusch, makes this the perfect album for Holiday enjoyment."
Okay, not Johnny's finest by any measure, but it is seasonally appropriate.

While I agree that its not one of his better outings, any Johnny is better than most artists recording today.
Yes, Any Johnny is better than most. Didn't have this, and his stuff is hard to find. Thanks much. Merry Xmas.
