When Christmas Comes Around 
was our first holiday release. The title track features guests Jim Greene (of The Delegates and The Flying Neutrinos) on upright bass and Jim Chickenbone Ernst (of Leroy Justice) on drums.

    When Christmas comes around,
        you'll hear such merry sounds:

    sleigh bells ringing, children singing,
        "Santa's on his way to town!"

    When Christmas comes around,
        the old familiar sounds:

    Yuletide jingles help us mingle
        joy recalled and new joy found.

If Only Mister Santa Claus Were Single
features AJ Belknap on lead vocals doing a sultry Marilyn Monroe-type ditty.

    If only Mister Santa Claus
        were single

    then every night's like Christmas
        night for me.

    He'd swing around my place
        each night to mingle

    a lay a gift beneath my
        twinkling Christmas tree!

Also included is the Memphis R&B-inspired Christmas Ain't the Same This Year featuring Rick in an particularly yearning mood.


Come and see me baby,    
    ask old Santa for a ride.

He must know that
    your presence here

would make the season bright!
