CD Review: "A Very Slambovian Christmas"
"A Very Slambovian Christmas" is a collection of live performances, featuring serious takes on classics like "Silver Bells" and "The Christmas Song", a straight telling of "The Night Before Christmas", and originals like "Suddenly It's Christmas", which has some of the best lyrics I've heard in a contemporary Christmas song:
"Take us back to when wishes came true if you were good / And we tried to stay awake all night to see him if we could" / Take us back to places that could set our hearts on fire / Where the inner world was glowing with the purest of desires."
