Synopsis

Album Description
A collection of 21 holiday favorites by the Incredible Casuals and the Chandler Travis Philharmonic (occasionally in a variety of flimsy disguises), not to mention the amazing Steve "Woo-Woo" Wood and Pete Labonne! Fourteen of these tracks have never been released in any form, including the Philharmonic's "If We Can Just Make It Through Christmas", an offhand attempt at a Wall of Sound (in honor of Phil Spector's immortal "Another Christmas Gift For You", also "honored" in the cover art.) The Casuals turn up on 3 tracks from their 1983 cassette-only Christmas release, "It's Christmas Time", including Johnny Spampinato's title tune and a funky little Travis-Shook tune called "Santa's Gonna Party." There's definitely some fooling around (Johnny's trumpet warbling on "Chrithmath in Athol", the thrash version of "Jingle Bells", and anything with the title "Santa's Christmas Cat" obviously qualify), but also the lovely ballad "Memories (Of Other New Year's Eves)"and a good little bunch of traditional songs. We've always hated half-hearted Christmas albums, and this isn't one; in fact, itwas designed to be a pretty good little record to party to, so... MERRY CHRISTMAS, FOLKS!!

CD Reviews

This Is A Great Christmas Record

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Forget the other reviews. This album is not a sequel (or is it?) to the classic A Christmas Gift For You but another fine collection of Christmas songs in the tradition of Yuletunes or Christmas Party With Eddie G. If you like the Incredible Casuals or NRBQ or music that is fun you will love this album. A modern classic."

"This is a wonderful holiday gem. It is not often that performers like Channy and Tim get to be heard on record. Stand out tracks include "reindeer on the roof" and "santa's slegweigh." The songs are inspiring and christian like."
