I Don’t Know How But they Found Me lean into the heavy alt rock of “Christmas Drag” missing you. Take it or leave it. But, miserable. Seriously. Oh well.
“Christmas Just Ain’t Christmas (Without You Baby)” is rock elongated by New Age mystic alt by Tod Got Overexcited! It’s the brass that does it for me.
Vince Vance & The Valiants has some sultry dame singing the boogie woogie blues in “Christmas Just Ain’t Christmas Without You“. It’s a powerhouse of emotional vulnerability.
When she purrs “Miss You At Christmas“, Loren Schaffer appears to weigh her options. The bouncing about octaves does not mark this pop as desultory.
Charming ragtime-influenced indie, “Together Again” celebrates the imminent reunion for We Love Christmas (Patrick MacManus). Ahh, hope. I knew ye.
“Kiss Me Arse (And Go Away For Christmas)” by Ol Billy Bob Boy is not exactly blue alert, but the guy has a weak country point: you’re not a jet ski.
