Born on June 6, 1939, Gary Anderson, also known as Gary ‘US’ Bonds in the music world, gives us a delightful Christmas songs album In fact I got this cd a few months ago, but as La Hora del Blues always follows a strict order of reception, it has not received publicity so far Bonds is one of the best New Orleans rhythm and blues singers i have ever heard His amazing feeling, the atmosphere he always creates with his music and the way he approaches songs, places him ahead and above many other similar singers of his generation For several years Gary Bonds was unfairly forgotten by the audiences but, thanks to the help of his unconditional fan Bruce Springsteen, at the end of the seventies he relaunched his career and, in 1982, his song Out Of Work reached # 21 in Billboard pop charts Since then on Gary has been active in music and let’s hope he will continue to delight us for many more years This album includes ten great Christmas gifts, done in different musical keys, that range from blues to reggae, swing, boogie or rock and roll, all them tastefullu played and supported by an effective brilliant bunch of musicians who give prestige and quality to a rewarding very well produced album
