Home For the Ollee-Days, Ollee Owens (Ollee Music)

Hey, more blues. This 2023 EP features Ollee singing "Weary Silent Night," a cool stride sung to a lover; the uptempo "Gonna Have the Blues This Christmas" if her baby doesn't come home; Freddy King's "Christmas Tears" and Charles Brown's "Please Come Home For Christmas" in the familiar arrangements; and she wraps up with Willie Nelson's "Pretty Paper." Well performed stuff and the two originals are aces. She's also dropped a "radio edit" of "Pretty Paper" separate from the EP along with a version of "O Holy Night," and while writing this I discovered her 2020 song "Kris Kringle Jingle." Check them all out.
