I am not one for Chritsmas music … unless it’s the Vince Guaraldi soundtrack to “A Charlie Brown Christmas.” But, I will probably have to pick up the new album from Aimee Mann that drops into stores next Tuesday (the 24th). It’s Christmas classics plus two new holiday songs written by Aimee. Smoooooth.
Aimee Mann: “One More Drifter in the Snow”
01. “Whatever Happened To Christmas”
02. “The Christmas Song”
03. “Christmastime”
04. “I’ll Be Home For Christmas”
05. “You’re A Mean One, Mr. Grinch”
06. “Winter Wonderland”
07. “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas”
08. “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen”
09. “White Christmas”
10. “Calling On Mary”
ooooooh.
I feel so much better about loving the Jethro Tull Christmas album now. You have finally jumped the shark and reached towards a holiday sellout album. Welcome to the ranks; would you like to borrow my Jimmy Buffett Christmas album???
My lovely wife buys too much Christmas music, but I will say that her best purchase was Big Bad Voodoo Daddy’s Everything You Want For Christmas a couple of years ago.
They do an awesome version of “Mr. Heat Miser”, which alone is worth the cost of the album.
