Old 97's – Love The Holidays (CD)
Product Details
Rhett Miller and the boys have been turning out ragged, hook-loaded country-punk since the early '90s Dallas scene, and their knack for melody and dry wit translates surprisingly naturally to the holiday format. Collaborators like Kevin Russell and Dan Bern are kindred spirits, writers who treat a song as a song regardless of the occasion, which keeps Love The Holidays from ever feeling like an obligatory cash-in.
The Old 97's are excited to announce the release of their first ever collection of original Christmas songs, Love The Holidays. The album was produced, mixed & engineered by John Pedigo in the band's home state of Texas. The LP presents a sack full of rockin' new Yuletide favorites, as well as Old 97's take on holiday classics. Among its many highlights are the title track, co-written with Kevin Russell (The Gourds, Shinyribs), "Gotta Love Being A Kid (Merry Christmas)" and "Snow Angels," both co-written with acclaimed writer Ben Greenman, and the continuing saga of everyone's favorite reindeer, "Rudolph Is Blue," co-written by Old 97's and Dan Bern.
