For the first time ever, all the music on the 12 Bands Christmas CD is original music. Most of this year's set seems to fall within the rock and pop category, though there's a pretty diverse group of songs within that. A couple of the tracks jump right out and grab you, though. Notably "Funky Santa" by Third Shift and most especially the ZZ Top inspired "Santa Looks A Lot Like Billy Gibbons" by The Unmentionables.
12 Bands is currently revamping their web site but, when they're finished, you should again be able to dip into the collections from Christmases past featuring more rock and pop, folk, blues, soul, country, rap and other sounds and styles as well, depending on which CDs you buy. In the meantime, you can keep up on the latest via the organization's Facebook page.
