Steve Perry "The Season"
With an artist that was given a gift and is one of the best vocalists in not only rock, but in general, and left a big chunk of his legacy behind, it was inevitable that he would record music for The Season of giving. The selection of songs on this extended play are tried and true, like his voice, you can tell they are tired too.
Shaggy "Christmas in the Islands (Deluxe)"
Over the years there have been some surprise gems mined from Christmas Canon mountain, and this is one of them. There are a lot of fun songs that can be listened to all year round, with enough to let you know the intended season, but not too much to deter you from listening to them in the summer. It's Still Christmas in Ontario and Montego Bay on December 25th regardless of the weather, right? Two of my favorites would be "Warm and Easy" and " Catch Myself Some Rays." I almost had a "Holiday in Jamaica," but this is a good enough substitute.
Eagles of Death Metal "EODM Presents: A Boots Electric Christmas"
When I saw this release, I could not believe it. While I have heard enough of the band's music to have a certain set of expectations, I was hoping for a little more holiday boogie, and a little more Halford "III: Winter Songs" rather than Scott Weiland "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year." I say that with as much respect as possible, may the latter songwriter rest in peace, because I do like all three records, but it was tamer and more traditional than I expected.
Bryson Tiller "A Different Christmas"
I have heard Bryson Tiller music before
This is A Different Christmas album for sure
When it comes to length, there are features galore
one you may have heard of, but another's reach is exponentially more
Is it really that great? that's subjective for sure.
If you cannot spare twenty minutes, you can walk out the "door"
But then you would miss a nice treat before album number four.
