So with another week of Christmas standards left to endure and, if you’re like us, they’re starting to become wearisome. It’s not too soon to want something new, Christmas-music-wise, is it?
Will "relatively new" do? Released in ’10, Watch Out For Rocket‘s "13 Days of Christmas", like the holiday it professes to celebrate, stands the test of time, growing better with age. A genre variety pack of 13 pop-rock numbers from the prolific David Thomas Jones, done up in lofi style for your season celebratory pleasure. From the hard-rockin’ ("13 Days of Christmas", "Hey Now (Merry Christmas)", "Fly Reindeer Fly" ) to the jazz-ish ("Hey Mr. Snowman"), the psychedelic ("Eggnog N Incense"), the pop ("Drummer Girl", "Upsidedown Xmas Tree", "Merry Christmas Baby"), and even a touch of acoustic folk-ish ("Santa quit yer foolin’ around"); nothing says Holiday Cheer quite like this collection.
Before you go out on that sleigh ride, snatch up your favorite holiday beverage and give "13 Days" a spin.
