Holiday EP, The Pretenders (Shangri-La)

| No Comments | No TrackBacks
pretend2.jpgThe band's "2000 Miles" from 1980 is one of the rock world's classic original Christmas songs, and for 2008 Chrissie Hynde and the band decided to revisit it, along with three other classic carols, in what sounds like a live-in-the-studio performance. You'll probably prefer the studio originals of that song and "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" from A Very Special Christmas, but the four tunes -- add "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" and "Blue Christmas" to the mix -- are nicely done. Folks who like their music unadorned and spontaneous might just like this better. It's on iTunes.
