Well Folks, the jolly season will soon be upon us. Here's a somewhat new twist on old Christmas taffy. This 12 track CD features classics played primarily on a Fender 800 (E9 tuning) in a VERY familiar "West Coast" style. Most of these Yuletide treats have been cast screaming into a boiling cauldron of shuffle rhythms, seasoned with fiddles, Telecasters, etc., then served up on a steaming Holiday platter garnished with a generous portion of Bakersfield style cheer and goodwill.
Live studio band: light drums, piano, bass, acoustic rhythm, fiddles, electric guitars, 6 string bass, roundneck resophonic, a few other varied instruments and of course, steel guitar "to the Moon".
The songs are:
1. Santa Looked A Lot Like Daddy
2. Joy To The World
3. Blue Christmas
4. Santa Medley
5. If We Make It Through December
6. Pretty Paper
7. Frosty The Snowman
8. It Came Upon A Midnight Clear
9. I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Clause
10. White Christmas
11. God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
12. Blue Christmas Tree
