Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of the Laptop Sessions! Chris Moore and I got together to record our duo version of “Blue Christmas” by Elvis Presley — watch the video here.
About “Blue Christmas”
“Blue Christmas” was written by Billy Hayes and Jay W. Johnson in 1948, but it became the definitive rock-and-roll holiday lament when Elvis Presley recorded it for Elvis’ Christmas Album in 1957. It’s been a Christmas standard ever since.
You can’t sing this song without thinking of Elvis, so Chris and I tipped our hats to the King on this one. It’s a sad song with a great melody — perfect for a cold December night. Hope you enjoy our take.
