Psychobilly Christmas

by Psychobilly Christmas / Various

Overview

Sounding like a sock-hop holiday dance party that got well out of hand, Psychobilly Christmas features manic contemporary rockabilly bands delivering Christmas songs in intriguingly twisted versions, and it's plenty of fun, a far cry from the usual holiday fare. Among the highlights of this kinetic set are the reverbed, near-surf instrumental version of "We Three Kings" by Reverend Horton Heat that starts things rolling, the rampaging "I'm Getting Pissed for Christmas" by Bamboula, a buzzing romp through "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer" by Thee Merry Widows, the speed-racing "Run Rudolph Run" by the Kraneos, and the hillbilly blast (complete with a blisteringly manic sax solo) of the Load Levelers' take on "Blue Christmas," although the whole playlist percolates pretty well, with the pedal always down and rocking. Here's betting Santa has this in his player. ~ Steve Leggett
