"Christmas Soon," JP, Chrissie & the Fairground Boys (La Mina)

You need the deluxe version of the group's 2010 album Fidelity! to grab this, as it's one of the bonus cuts. It's a great tune, a rootsier version of the Pretenders with a guy singing lead -- no surprise, since that's what this whole album is, Chrissie Hynde and JP Jones celebrating their relationship with an album of original songs. It's a very good album, which will make it worthwhile to grab the deluxe version for this excellent upbeat holiday tune, both musically and lyrically. It's an original take on joy and redemption that will also cause an outbreak of dancing at your Christmas parties. UPDATE: The duo's website shows a cover for a single of this Christmas song, and if you're sneaky Amazon will let you download it all alone.
