So, our latest edition of Getting in the mood: Best Christmas Albums we're going a different direction. This is the first on our list that isn't an album full of standards.
JD McPherson: "SOCKS" has an oldies vibe and nods to tradition Christmas songs, but it's from 2018 and is so much more. Original, humorous, with heart and rockin'. Let's start with the opening track, "All the Gifts I Need."
I mentioned humous...When I heard the next song, "Bad Kid," I honestly laughed out loud at some of the lyrics. And it has a great groove to it.
We can't skip the title track, "Socks" a true anthem for the kids out there, unsatisfied with some of their gifts.
And who hasn't had the "Ugly Sweater Blues"
I also mentioned this album having heart. If you didn't hear any of it yet, here's some of it. "What's That Sound?"
