Let's Have a Rockin' Christmas Vol. 7, various artists (Bongo Boy)

We've had the Bongo Boy label here in the past with previous installations of their holiday compilation series, so this is 2022's entry in the series. Boys 'n' Barry kick things off with the nicely uptempo rocker "It's Christmas Time," featuring a fine female lead vocal. The New Bardots (previous participants in this series) go 70s hard rock on "Never Too Much Christmas," Mark Winter's "Christmas in the Air" has that 70s soft rock thing going on, "Every Christmas Side By Side" by Courtland Thomas is a cool rockabilly/stride tempo number, Annemarie Picerno makes a fine bluesy mama on "Mr. Santa," and Gar Francis has a midtempo ballad, "Palaces," that has a Fleetwood Mac feel to it. Wayne Oliveri goes all midnight mass on a bell-filled ballad, "Glad It Is Christmas Time Again," and fires up the synths for a poppy "I Love Christmas Time," David Scott Kocher gives us some Nashville holiday verities on "Christmas Time in the Carolina Country," STUDEO goes girl-groupy on "It's Christmas Time Again," and as always, Jackie Kringle & the Elves' title song is part of the proceedings. You can grab it from Amazon or the label website.
