Album Notes

S'NO BALLS is twelve rude and hilarious Christmas tunes that are sure to ignite any holiday party. Especially if highballs are involved. And broads. And then some cocktails get thrown in. Dames and booze, put on S'no Balls and WHAMMO, Clyde, it's Instant Christmas!

Rudy Casoni is often called, "a singer's singer." Other times a "drinker's singer" but usually he's referred to as a "drinking singer." He surfaced briefly in the mid-nineties to appear on MTV in thirty second shorts singing the hits of the day. Then it was back to his circuit: Atlantic City, Tahoe and Vegas. Until now.

When contacted by phone and asked Why make a Christmas record?, Casoni responded with his usual mix of hostility and profoundly slurred clarity: "Look you prick, I am blessed I tells ya. Truly fortunate to finally give these holiday gifts in song form. It was some kind of sweet song-lovin. A giving of birth if you will. You see, sometime last winter I was hit hard with inspiration and knocked unconscious. Perhaps it was a blackjack or a pipe. Could have been a heavy can of some kind. Anyway, I was held down and then, well, violated repeatedly by someone smelling of pine, cinnamon and myrrh whom I can only assume was Father Christmas because magically, nine months later, these twelve wet and precious joys burst forth from my singing loins. Ans so I give them to you this holiday season, pally. My divine Christmas Song-Children. I call them 'S'no Balls' you may call them 'Swinging'."

God Bless you, Rudy, and Merry Christmas.
