ANTHONY KRIZAN and PAUL NELSON Release “ALL I GOT FOR CHRISTMAS WAS THE BLUES AND A BROKEN HEART”

by Skope • December 16, 2024

The story began in 2019 at the Woodstock Experience Festival, where Nelson and Krizan first crossed paths. Both had deep roots in the music world—Nelson had played alongside icons like Johnny Winter, Eric Clapton, and Buddy Guy, while Krizan earned acclaim with The Spin Doctors, Lenny Kravitz, and Noel Redding. Their shared love for bluesy rock sparked an instant connection. When Nelson invited Krizan to join him on stage, the chemistry was undeniable.

Later that year, the two decided to channel their creative synergy into something special—a Christmas song. They teamed up with hitmakers Dave Gibson (a #1 Nashville songwriter) and Cheryl DaVeiga (an award-winning songwriter), and together, they brought “All I Got for Christmas” to life.

BEHIND “ALL I GOT FOR CHRISTMAS WAS THE BLUES AND A BROKEN HEART”

“All I Got for Christmas was the Blues and a Broken Heart” is a soulful collaboration between two musical powerhouses: the late Grammy Award-winning blues legend Paul Nelson and the dynamic rock/blues/soul virtuoso Anthony Krizan, known for his electrifying guitar work with the Spin Doctors.

This heartfelt track is more than a Christmas song—it’s a celebration of musical legacy, friendship, and the timeless power of collaboration.

“ALL I GOT FOR CHRISTMAS WAS

THE BLUES AND A BROKEN HEART”

All I got for Christmas was the blues

and a broken heart

All I got for Christmas baby was the blues

and a broken heart

I got a stocking full of pain and just your picture

in a frame

Watching me fall apart

All I got for Christmas was the blues

and a broken heart

Standing underneath the mistletoe

I see empty bottles of whiskey all around

Well you kissed me off baby and you let me go

Now even Santa Claus done let me down

Well I’m gonna tell you if things don’t get better

by New Years

I’m gonna ride me a reindeer straight

on out of town

I’m one step forward

And two steps back

Saw St. Nick slide down the chimney

But he didn’t leave me jack

The least he could have done is to bring someone

To get over that woman, that woman I love that ain’t never coming back

All I got for Christmas baby was the blues and a broken heart (something’s going on)

Yeah all I got for Christmas baby was the blues and a broken heart

Hope my luck is gonna change

Got a stocking full of pain and your picture

in a frame

That’s all I got for Christmas baby

All I got for Christmas was the blues

and a broken heart

All I got for Christmas baby was the blues

and a broken heart

All I got for Christmas was the blues

and a broken heart

All I got for Christmas baby was the blues

and a broken heart
