Kenny Rogers, Garth Brook & Trisha Yearwood conspire to rock country in “The Old Man’s Back In Town.” Caroling here is a mark of time, after which you should be tucked in a snoozing. Aw, that’s gratuitous.
Pentatonx & Meghan Trainor gang up on “Kid On Christmas,” where the youngsters’ sensory overload happens to include muffled street singing. Obnoxiously pop country a cappella.
Weezer admit to the pain of the symptoms of Xmas when the heart is strained in “The Christmas Song.” The ringing in my ears perhaps beats bleeding headaches, but golly geez, boys. Hide in the shower or something. Altrock.
