mistletunes.com review for "hang your stockings, and say your prayers"

With all the varieties of rock and pop out there nowadays, serious rock fans might feel the need to cleanse the palate with something from the old days. These guys may be from the modern day, but this 2008 disc is straight-up rockabilly, accent mark over the rock. They put that 50s spirit into an otherwise straight reading of "Jingle Bell Rock," embue "Here Comes Santa Claus" with some serious stomp, tell Chuck Berry the news on a cover of his "Run Rudolph Run," and put their own stamp on the holiday with such originals as "Santabilly Boogie," "Blue Suede Santa," "Tangled Up" and "Up 'n At 'Em Old St. Nick." Oh, and clear the dance floor for their version of "Holly Jolly Christmas." Apparent disc closer "Blue Christmas," an uptempo version at that, hides a live version of "Santabilly Boogie," but you have to get past several minutes of jingling bells before it comes up. (Or you could just hit scan, or drag the cursor on your iPod's screen until you find it.) You gotta get it from these guys' website, but it's worth the trouble. Roll over Carl Perkins, and tell Brian Setzer the news.

I love it, guys! This is exactly what I've been wanting the Snakehandlers to do for a couple of years now! So thanks for making it happen, we'll follow suit with Hannukah songs down the road. Until then, happy holidays- we love you guys!
