Kelly Long drawls “My First Christmas without You” with extra twang. Seems clingy even for country.
There’s some question who you is in “There’s No Christmas Without You“. Kirk Franklin and the Family might be singing about Jaysus, but what could they have done to rid themselves of His Grace?–surely not this gospel singalong.
Showing us how to mope, Flooded Cellar spiral with their folk “Without You“. Bemoaning the single set of footprints in the snow and on the floor, they don’t know what to do. Wait, is this bereavement?
John Cedrick synths the R+B with his lack of you. Apparently “Santa Didn’t Hear” that you needed to be with him. Scary, you think about it.
More rockabilly, STAT! Darrel Higham riffs out the high stepping dread of “Our Last Night” and all i can do is snap and clap along. Oh yeah.
Angry Johnny and The Killbillies get maudlin in “Winter’s Here Again“. It could be that this tinkling country ballad hides a secret: he made you go underground, with his shovel. Shivers.
