The dB's and Friends - Christmas Time Again! (CD)

When the Christmas Time EP appeared in 1986, it was a joyous occasion. It shouldn't be surprising that it's endeared and has been expanded for generations to come! The dB's & Friends' Christmas Time Again! Enters it's third decade of holiday fun with an incredible mix of what's been previously cherished and adds new tidings of comfort and joy. Chris Stamey (Sneakers, The dB's) has revised this gift of seasonal music for under your tree and into your ears. Classic tracks from Stamey, The dB's, Whiskeytown (with Ryan Adams), and Alex Chilton are joined by new performances by Yo La Tengo & Jeff Tweedy, Marshall Crenshaw, Robyn Hitchcock, and Big Star's Third (featuring Mike Mills of R.E.M. taking lead vocals on Big Star's "Jesus Christ"), among many others. This is the now the ultimate collection of Christmas fare from an unprecedented amount of alt-rock superstars. It's not just Christmas time, it's Christmas Time Again!
