I think the difference here is ...Interesting point. I think the difference here is age. "Santy Baby" was I think recorded in 1954, when H&J were firmly C&W artists. Some dozen years later, they were older, more mellow "crossover" stylists and that hard edge was gone.<br /><br />Actually that happened to many others. There's a big difference between the traditional George Jones of 1956 ("Why Baby Why" on Mercury) and the deeper voiced, mellower string-laden stuff he did for producer Billy Sherrill some 20 years later (including his comeback hit "He Stopped Loving Her Today") Ill Folkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08208537275049364194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13393846.post-49828696955532590832013-12-25T14:56:21.151-08:002013-12-25T14:56:21.151-08:00I have several of the H&J Christmas album song...I have several of the H&J Christmas album songs on 45's. Same songs, but completely different recordings. They are more "corn-fed" and not nearly as "slick" in their arrangements and production. "Santy Baby", "Night After Christmas" and "Santy Baby" come to mind, but I have a few others, too. They're RCA promo 45's. Must have decided they needed a more "commercial" release for the LP! I notice this too on Capitol Records -- especially on the "Ol Rockin' Ern" LP from Tennessee Ernie Ford. The 45's of the same tunes have much more edge and grit than the slicked up versions on the LP.Tim Edwardsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13393846.post-9689400358390756492012-12-27T15:58:36.136-08:002012-12-27T15:58:36.136-08:00O!
