Southern Rock Christmas
Author: Various Artists
Format: Compilation
Release Date: 22-10-2002
Details: Amazon.ca How difficult would it be for a classic-rock fan to dig the Phil Spector-inspired "Jingle Bell Rock" by 38 Special or to head-bop to George Thorogood's "Rock and Roll Christmas," or twist (yes, twist) to Foghats "All I Want for Christmas Is You," sounding like they're invoking the very spirit of Roy Orbison? It wouldnt be difficult at all. Then get another eggnog and toast Steve Morses uplifting instrumental version of "Joy to the World," the hip-shaking beat of "Winter Wonderland" by the Fabulous Thunderbirds, and the aptly named "Christmas Blues" by Canned Heat. The albums closing track is a warm, up-tempo version of "Silent Night" by Elvin Bishop. The other artists offer little in the way of pleasant surprises, but there's enough rocking holiday fare here for those who like their rock aged and Southern fried. --Lorry Fleming
