What do you get when you cross NRBQ and Santa Claus? One of the coolest, craziest, most fun, classic Christmas compilations of all-time! The NRBQ Christmas album that should be under everyone’s tree returns expanded with previously unissued holiday delights on festive opaque green colored vinyl for Record Store Day/Black Friday
Does this new version contain all the tracks from the New Rhythm And Blues Quartet’s 1978 EP Merry Christmas From NRBQ? Of course, it does! The single “Jolly Old St. Nicholas” from 1980? Yes! From home recordings to proper studio tracks to live recordings, the holiday happiness on this new release reaches back to the ’70s and runs straight on up into the 21st century!
Beyond all the tracks you know and love are unissued delights like a live “Silent Night” recorded live in Peoria, Illinois right around Christmas 2012 (December 23 to be exact!) and to bring it all home, a private recording of “Auld Lang Syne” with Terry on dulcitone!
