It's that time of year, folks, and Everybody Knows It's Christmas whether we like it or not. Whether we celebrate, our senses will be overloaded with the season. While every sense is bombarded, the sights and the sounds of the season seem to be the most prevalent with a plethora of dead-horse renditions of classics of yore we fell in love with.
While I appreciate the classics songs and albums, I am a champion of the new, and I am talking about tunes more specifically. His covers are nice enough, even if some include the sixth and thirteenth most covered holiday tunes, Winter Wonderland and O Holy Night, respectively. I do enjoy rockin' around the Christmas tree as well, but I don't pine for a new rendition of it.
There are a lot of pleasant additions to Chris Issak's personal Christmas canon, even if some might bring about the "Holiday Blues," like the twangy Chrismisery found in "Christmas Comes But Once A Year" or the Preslesque "Wrapping Presents For Myself."
If you had a tail would "Dogs Love Christmas Too" beckon a wag? It is a real cute ditty about doggos' (hypothetical) enjoyment of the season. I know it's "Almost Christmas," and this is the perfect anthem for present purchasing procrastinators that captures the tension produced by that decision, but one a person can dance along to.
My favorite of his new contributions has to be "Help Me Baby Jesus" which may defy one's expectations and misconception of the song's direction, while also illustrating what the season is about.
