The Essential Christmas Treasury 1997-2003, Yes Virginia (Wise Guy Records)

yesvirgn.jpgThis Delaware band issued a rock 'n roll Christmas disc every year covered in the title, taking a 70s mainstream rock approach to tunes from the Christmas canon, both popular and obscure. They also throw in two non-Christmas tunes that are frequently passed off as holiday tunes, "My Favorite Things" (separate vocal and instrumental versions) and "Put a Little Love in Your Heart," no doubt because that song featured in the Bill Murray movie "Scrooged." Mainstream 70s stuff was never my favorite genre, but these guys do a great job. Out of print, though the band does stream some stuff on their MySpace page, linked above. By the way, there's a North Jersey band that works under the name Yes Virginia but doesn't appear to have any Christmas songs, just so you're aware if you're trying to chase these guys down.
