What sets this Christmas album by blues rocker Hamilton Loomis apart from the rest is that many of the pieces come from his own pen, and the ink was running well. He lays electric and acoustic guitars, bass, keyboard and harmonica while singing with bassist Mike Meade and drummer Brannon McLeod. You get some nice blue-eyed soul on the funky “This Season”, “Love Again Christmas” and the fun “Lay Around and Love”. Some Everly Brother harmonies works well on “Everything I Wanted,’ while you get a Chicago blues treatment of “Christmas Tears” and some hip Chuck Berry riffs on “Run Rudolph Run”. Some foot stomping under the mistletoe.
