Title: Smithereens Cnristmas Album: Beach Boys influence Post by: Competition Clutch on December 09, 2007, 12:20:52 PM They do a cover of Merry Christmas, Baby. Lead Vocal by Dennis Diken. I like the guitars on this track and the Smithereens' harmonic style.
An original song Christmas(I Remember) - lead vocal by Diken - features a lyric that references the albums, "Shut Down, Volume 2, and Rubber Soul." David Marks plays guitar on this. On the cover of Run Rudolph Run, I was disappointed in the lyric change from "Away went Rudolph whizzing like a Sabre Jet," to "private jet." "Sabre Jet" is a great lyric which plants the song firmly in the 1950s. I thought the retro appeal outweighed any need to update the lyric. The album is highly recommended.

The album also features ex-A.M. Chaos Band member Severo Jornacion on bass! Highly recommended. |
