Artist: Lynyrd Skynyrd | Album: Christmas Time Again | Released: 2000 | Genre: Rock, Blues Rock | Country: USA | Duration: 00:36:06
A Southern rock Christmas album? Hey, it makes as much sense as Run-DMC’s “Christmas in Hollis” and the good news is that the Lynyrd Skynyrd boys – along with special guests the Charlie Daniels Band and .38 Special – truly get into the spirit with a nice mix of seasonal standards (rock and otherwise) and originals. Among the latter, the Daniels Band provides a frankly terrifying “Devil Went Down to Georgia” – derived take on “Santa Claus is Coming to Town”, while Skynyrd crunch through Chuck Berry’s “Run, Rudolph Run” with Stones-like aplomb.
On the originals front, .38 Special score big with “Mama’s Song”, a Southern rock power pop hybrid in their best ’80s style, although it must be said that these self-proclaimed wild-eyed Southern boys have a sentimental streak a mile wide (and when their song is followed by Skynyrd’s near-obscene “Santa Claus Wants Some Lovin'”, it’s a tad disconcertin’…). In any case, the album concludes, nicely, with a little harmonizing by the entire Skynyrd family (kids, relatives, road crew, dogs, etc)
