John Prine visits with you a spell in his chatty “A John Prine Christmas.” It includes time when he was three what got him almost taken to the hospital. Story time! (Watch for polka coda!)
Only a little less sentimental, Sandra Cross’s soft pop “Snowflakes” heaps on the sweetness, including when we’d Decorate the Christmas tree With things we made when we were three. Aww now.
Boarding school croons from Jeff and Deb Conrad. “Can I Come Back Home for Christmas” itemizes the troubles: I don’t remember daddy much, ′cause I was only three When he went to be with Jesus, leaving you and Clint and me. Bluegrass country big woes.
Nico Reservoir raps out some “Naughty Boy” plans. It involves the lonely Mrs. Claus. Heavens, but: I haven′t been a nice boy since I was three. Not blue.
The Boxmasters sling the blues when they promise of their own families that they’ll never spend “Christmas on the Road.” See, growing up Dad didn’t hold such a promise: The first time we were thrown out, I was maybe three years old. Shows us more than tells us. Powerful stuff. Tell ’em, Billy Bob.
