HB Radke is the son of Fred Radke, former frontman for the Harry James Orchestra. For the last few years, Radke has been writing a "song a week". The nice thing about doing that is that you tend to hit all the holidays. Radke's first "song a week" song from 2012 was "New Year". He swears that it started out as a Hip Hop number, but it certainly ended up as sort of a Big Band number (minus the real Big Band). Most of HB's "song-a-week" songs are available as free downloads (2011 here, 2012 here) at Bandcamp, as is this New Year's song. The Christmas songs, though, have been collected up as "The Twelve Songs Of Christmas" and that set will cost you $9.99.
