Please Come Home (It's Christmas), John Lindberg Trio (Cosmos)

Haven't encountered these guys before, but they're a long-running rockabilly act. For 2025 they've dropped an EP of mostly original holiday tunes that'll get your fingers snapping. The title song is a cool ballad that will remind you of the Mavericks, "All I Want For Christmas is a Real Good Tan" will fill that spot in your playlists that yearns for sunny weather with your stocking, "Santa Let Her Go" calls out the jolly elf for trying to mack on the singer's girlfriend, and "Santa Needs a Bad Girl" covers some of the same ground. The collection wraps up with spirited covers of Elvis' "Santa Bring My Baby Back To Me" and Stevie Wonder's "What Christmas Means To Me." While calling this up I discovered this isn't the group's first holiday rodeo, they dropped an EP in 2006 called Christmas Special and a full Christmas album in 2012 called Rock This Christmas, again mixing originals and covers in a similar rockabilly vein. Whoops, just discovered some additional Christmas singles, "Count the Days (Christmas Time Is Coming" from 2018 and "Merry Christmas (I've Been Waiting So Long)" from 2014. Check them all out.
