JD McPherson SOCKS LP (Red Marbled Vinyl)

• DESCRIPTION

Featuring 11 original tracks written by JD McPherson and his friends, SOCKS is an album of holidays songs sure to be standards while you are decorating the tree.

Come get warm by the fire with songs such as "All the Gifts I Need" and "Every Single Christmas." Or, burn the cookies to "SOCKS" and "Ugly Christmas Sweater."

There is something for everyone on this record to enjoy, whether you are in the Christmas spirit or if you just wanna say, "Bah Humbug."

One of the more ingeniously titled holiday albums you'll run across, JD McPherson's Socks is a jubilantly rockin' production, rife with humor and the Oklahoma-born singer's knack for old-school '50s R&B.

Sorry if you like your Christmas music doused in sleigh bells, or burdened with schmaltzy sentimentality. That's not what JD McPherson is steering for here. Delightfully silly and steeped in deprecated language that awakens a time when life was simpler, Socks is the classic Christmas record that was never written. McPherson has made a career of acting like a living archivist via original songs perfectly interpreted into the styles of a different era, and he does it again here.
