It’s Christmas Eve, it’s snowing, and the big day of presents and family time is just some hours away. For many, Christmas is all they look forward to but for others, it’s just another clock tick on the way to the end of the year. If you weren’t warm with the spirit of Christmas before, let this holiday cover from Thunderpussy fill you up.
Their rendition of "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)," the Phil Spector classic originally sung by Darlene Love and known as the greatest rock n’ roll Christmas song of all time as ranked by Rolling Stone magazine, keeps that hard romanticism alive. Whitney Petty’s guitar playing has a heavier twang to it, but Molly Sides’ vocals keep on the same emotive plane as Love’s. If anything, Thunderpussy’s version could go down as one of the greatest Christmas covers of all time.
Thunderpussy likely won’t be playing this cover live after tomorrow is over, but take your chances at it by catching them at their New Year’s Eve soiree at the Showbox, with Industrial Revelation, KOLARS and other special guests. Give "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" a listen below.
