Davy Long gets low and slow with the hypnotic indie “You’re One of Us“. The haunting refrain takes me back to my carnival days at the freak show.
Lee Harris bebop on the lil electric organ for “You’re the Only Christmas (That I Need)”. It’s meet cute for the sock hop.
The Fruitcakes decelerate the joy until “Your Smile Is My Gift (Too)” is a sad, pitiable litany over making do with less. But, at least, there’s you. Indie.
Casey Shea covers “You’re All I Want For Christmas” with cool, filtered pop. Sounds better this way.
In “I Won’t Let You Lick My Candy Bar” Tim Dinkins wreaks holy vengeance on a Santa tattler (you know who you are) with the coolest country guitar licks available. Courtesy of Pete da Elf.
E for effort to Sam Ryder for the over-the-top enthusiasm and pop rocking of “You’re Christmas To Me“. I’m all twitchy now.
