Want to celebrate Christmas in Memphis? Here’s a collection of Christmas songs in a concert setting delivered by singer/songwriter Marilyn Scott with a Stax sounding band that belts out Natal themes that swing like a Christmas bell. The band, which includes a brass and sax section with Eric Marienthal/ts, Brandon Fields/ts and a stomping rhythm team gives out some funky soul on “Merry Christmas Baby” and “What Christmas Means to Me.” Scott sounds earthy and enthused, and along with Mike Miller/g, gets nice and bluesy n”Slippin’ Into Christmas” and sways on “What Are You Doing Christmas Eve?” A choir of backing vocals by Lori Perry, Carolyn Perry & Sharon Perry take you back to where Christmas is always welcome, with a churchified “Sweet Little Jesus Boy.” Soulful music for your soul.
