Just six years into his career as a solo artist, with a dozen albums already
under his belt, Jackie Wilson was reaching new peaks in 1963. He had
already earned his nickname, Mr. Excitement, for his reputation as a master
showman and a vocal virtuoso, boasting a four-octave range. It’s not
surprising that Wilson’s take on holiday classics like ""Silent Night”, ""White
Christmas”, and ""O Little Town of Bethlehem” were well received, scoring
'Merry Christmas from Jackie Wilson’ a place at #6 on the charts, making it
the highest charting album of Wilson's career. Previously out of print for
decades, the album is finally coming back to vinyl, just in time for the
holiday season. The release was mastered from original analog tapes and
pressed on 180gram audiophile-grade vinyl for an unmatched listening
experience.
