It says here The Side Burns are from Honk Kong. Funny, they don't sound Jewish. I keed I keed. The Side Burns, at least on "Silent Night", play an Elvis Presley style of Rock, so there's Country and Rockabilly mixed in there. And, truth be told, it almost sounds like they're poking a little fun at the Big Guy (Elvis). But whether you take "Silent Night" seriously or as a goof, it's not bad (well, once you get past the first minute where they're going a cappella--that part I could live without; we'll fix that in editing...I keed I keed). Some people like to close their holiday headtapes with "Silent Night", so here's another log for the fire. Oh, and the cover art's great (remember that kids; cover art is half the battle). It's name-your-price on Bandcamp.

 Today, it's JD McPherson offering up a pair of tracks free on Noisetrade in advance of the November 2 release of his highly anticipated Christmas album, "Socks". McPherson is mighty proud of this album and, judging by these two advance songs--"Hey Skinny Santa" and "Socks"--he should be. It's not just that he's completely captured the sound of an earlier era, but this is (to validate JD's own impressions) some of the finest lyrical work we've heard on a Christmas album in many a year. Just consider this one line from "Socks" as example:
It doesn't beep or buzz or bop or rattle in the box Why'd you waste the paper on a lousy pair of socks Hear the whole song and download "Socks" and "Hey Skinny Santa" by JD McPherson free at Noisetrade now and for a limited time (same goes for Rodney Crowell's Noisetrade tracks...limited time only). And read JD's thoughts on his Christmas record in an exclusive interview. |
