After posting my rather strong words yesterday about holiday music, I did some looking. I heard a CD that James Taylor put out through Hallmark that was really good. He did a bluesy version of Jingle Bells that rang my bell (couldn't resist that one hehe). Anyway, I am now on a mission to find more of the same. Musicians that are doing Christmas songs within their style and comfort zone are, I believe, what I was speaking of in my post yesterday. James taylor doing a "Steamroller"-ish Jingle Bells is a great example.
Now what I am waiting for is AC/DC doing a "Night Prowler"-ish holiday tune, or, perhaps, Eric Clapton laying his expertise down on a carol with the feel of "Tears in Heaven" or "Let it Rain." We'll see.
In other news, it's Friday!!!!!!!!!! Not a moment too soon either. I don't think it could ever be too soon for a Friday. Everyone around the office is in a subtly (spelling?) jovial mood, and conversations of Christmas shopping, holiday obligations, and weekend plans are floating around the office, which is uncomfortably warm today. Good times...heaters make me tired.
Anyway, I hope this post finds everyone enjoying their day. Talk to you soon.
Tracks upon which to snack:
Masters Apprentices - Easy to Lie
James Taylor - Jingle Bells
AC/DC - Night Prowler (and the rest of their tunes from pre-1980 that aren't on the radio)
Eric Clapton - Let it Rain
