When your ears get tired of the seasonal bombast--Walls of Sound, Big Bands, echo drenched Indie Rock, and more sleigh bells than one should really have to endure in a lifetime of Decembers--"Christmas Please" from Jeffrey Phillip Nelson makes for a nice change of pace. Keeping it simple and acoustic, Nelson reels off 14 holiday favorites done up in an easygoing Folk style. On the uptempo numbers, he sometimes sounds like Nick Lowe unplugged. On the slower numbers, it's more like Jimmy Rodgers stripped down. My favorite from this collection is "God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen" which, after the first verse, gets a bit of a Spaghetti Western makeover. He gets extra points for pausing where the comma is between Merry and Gentleman. They aren't Merry Gentlemen, kids, and never were. They are Gentleman whom the singer wishes to Rest Merry. Glad we could clear that up for you.
