The Barefoot Man cries beer tears in the honky tonk “Let Me Wrap You In My Arms This Christmas“. You’re the only present that I want, Love. That sort of thing.
Dick Lieb lowers the volume with the plea “Let’s Share Christmas“. Jazz lounge whispering. Just you and me. Seems sincere, for now.
Adaline & Frederick pepper the pop with drawling cowlings so that “Let’s Stay Inside” doesn’t seem to be in a human language. Oh, take me, take me, take me on a sleigh ride. Call for backup.
Otis Gibbs plunks and plinks unto “Little Red Nose” a love call. His folk grass isn’t about Rudolph; seems you’ve got a similar thing in the middle of your face. But the only thing I want this year is you right here with me. That’s all, folks.
Morgan James inserts loads of brass into her country soul “Long As I Got You“. Me and my baby got other plans. almost too busy to sing this.
BLUE ALERT Confused strums along with the folk rock nonchalance of “All You Want For Christmas (Unmixed, Unmastered & Unloved)“. But the lyrics get snarly, angry, vindictive. Sorry, no love here. Some laughs, though.
