The Harpers & Kathleen Frewin

By -


There's a first time for everything, so why not add just one more Christmas song to the thousands already written before us, that was about The Harpers's reasoning for writing their first Christmas track ever. And the result of this exercise is certainly impressive. 
After hearing a small piano part of 'O Christmas Tree', some violins and an almost Disney-esque (don't stop reading now!) intro, the actual song starts. It's a very compelling and bluesy singer songwritersong that slowly turns into a kinda polka-brass ballad towards the end, with a tuba and honky-tonk bar piano, that finally fades out with the same Disney-esque sound, this time followed by a part of 'Jingle Bells'. 

A beautiful, surprisingly original, richly arranged and very Christmassy track from this Utah-based Americana/psychedelic rock band with Jacob Beck and Kathleen Frewin in absolute vocal lead roles. Just sit back for 4:50 minutes, cause this 'Christmas Tree Blues' is a must-hear!

So far, no. But if you contact the band via SoundCloud and/or instagram I’m sure you can work something out. They should put it on Bandcamp !

Pitchfork's 50 Best Christmas Songs

Read it and weep HERE . Sure, one of the perks of making a Best Of-list is that someone else can disagree with it. But this Pitchfork-list is so, as CU tweeted, uninspired it's getting me nauseous. There are non-Christmassongs in the list. Songs that are overplayed. Two versions of the same song. And Low's Little Drummer Boy instead of Just Like Christmas? Really? REALLY? Let's get a few things straight. When making a Best Christmas Songs-list, you need to set ground rules. Do hymns (O Come, O Come Emmanuel), traditional Christmassongs (O Tannenbaum) and pop songs compete with each other? Do you choose original versions or best versions? And, maybe the most important thing, what does your (play)list achieve; to heighten spirits, to have plain fun? Pitchfork's list just f's around, there's no real idea behind it. So, whatabout us, CAGG-team and you, readers, make an alternative Best Of-list? Songs that are criminally overlooked by Pitchfork. Pop songs, rock ...

Pondertone, in spite of it all

CAGG Team loves to feature Dutch artists making Christmas music - Clean Pete , The Heck , Rick Buur , Non-Traditionals , Fay Lovsky ...and that's just a handful of fellow Dutchies that shone on this blog. We posted a lot of Pondertone (Americana from the city of Utrecht) on CAGG. The songs have depth and a clear message. For these dark days, we were kinda hopin' that Patrick & the guys would release a new addition to their impressive Xmas discography. But no. Instead there is a compilation of all seasonal songs. Patrick Tersteeg (= Mr Pondertone) wrote an extensive blogpost about the ins and outs of his tracks, and leaves us a not so cheerful message: "Anyone hoping for a new Pondertone Christmas song this year will be disappointed. I'm sorry, I don't have anything to say this year that I haven't said before. Pondertone's 'new' Christmas album is literally old wine in a new bottle. For the artwork I used sketches that I found too depres...
