The Devil’s Box can turn a hoedown into a ho ho ho down.
“Grandpa’s Christmas Fiddle” is probably the same as Grandpa’s everyday fiddle, but with The Barefoot Man’s bluegrass breakdown it seems more magical. Go, Grandma, go!
Glen Duncan wants his own “Fiddle for Christmas.” Give it him says i. Gnarly bluegrass.
Shouldn’t Celtic rock have fiddles? Allan Schau answers the riddle with a snowed-in “Christmas at the Pub.” Drinking and cavorting, they prefer fiddles to carols. Tough fun.
Look out, country’s back. “Cowboy Santa” by Deanna D’Amico-White comes off as a gushy girly wish list. Though she does want Santa to meet me in the barn where the fiddles play. Uh oh.
Aurosa sings “Christmas on the Country Road” with a scosh of polka, but there’s plenty of guitars, banjos, and fiddles mentioned.
Did you say POLKA? The Andrews Sisters front Guy Lombardo and His Royal Canadians (1949) for “Merry Christmas Polka,” where they’re tuning up the fiddles. Why? Because they like you!
Betty Overstreet stirs monotonous kidsong into her bluegrass for “Billy Bob the Hillbilly Goat.” And suddenly it’s Christmas.
Richard Melvin Brown spices up the bluegrass with downbeat party pop for a “Tennessee Bluegrass Christmas.” Spare the fiddle, spoil the season.
