• Track Listing

Word has it that Nick himself was incredulous, too, about the notion of a Nick Lowe holiday album—but he quickly warmed to the idea, and this is the immensely enjoyable result. Here, on CD or vinyl (the vinyl edition includes the CD as a bonus), are new Lowe originals plus classics done his way and some obscure tunes he chose to tackle; he and the band shift from New Orleans rhythms to revved-up rockabilly to snow-capped ska as you hear Rise Up Shepherd; Silent Night; Hooves on the Roof; Old Toy Trains; The North Pole Express; I Was Born in Bethlehem, and more! Yep Roc.
