The Philadelphia home of the popular "World Cafe" radio music series rolls out music compilations from time to time, and this is the second of their Philly Local series, featuring only bands based in Brotherly Love-ville. It appears here because the last three songs on this 2008 disc are holiday-oriented originals. Hoots and Hellmouth offers "A Song For Solstice," a non-Christmas Christmas folk song; Dan May performs "Christmas in My Hometown," a folk-rock meditation on the title by a guy whose voice evokes a little bit of Gordon Lightfoot; and Fooling April gives us the piano-led ballad "Every Single Christmas." Nice work, though all three are on the slow side. The disc also features non-holiday fare from such folks as Mutlu, Amos Lee, Dr. Dog and The Hooters -- yeah, the same '80s band you're thinking of.
