Seasons Greetings From Jad and David Fair!
The Fair brothers have written more songs than The Rolling Stones and
Beatles combined. Their subject matter once limited only to love and
monster songs has expanded to a depth and range equal to that of the
majestic Rocky Mountains.
This year they're back with 21 brand new Halloween songs. Rip up your
movie tickets and park your car, Daddy. There are 21 new reasons to
stay home.
If Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi wrote songs they would've sounded
like this. 21 new songs about cackling witches, blood thirsty vampires
and the walking dead. 21 songs to chill your flesh and blast shivers
down your spine. You can shut your eyes and wish but it won't go away.
21 reasons to squirm. 21 reasons to leave the lights on.
Play it if you dare and change your life forever.
Whistle these in the graveyard, Tough Guy.
