Indie For the Holidays 2017, various artists (Amazon)

| No Comments | No TrackBacks
indieAmazon2017.jpgAs you may already know, Amazon has been offering playlists of commissioned songs for several years that you can listen to if you're a Prime member, and now also if you join Amazon Music. The collection named above started in 2015, but they've continually added new songs to the playlist, and the 2017 selections can be detected because there's a different "album cover" art piece attached to the new ones. Among the winners are "To Heck With Ole Santa Claus" by Jessica Lea Mayfield, which could have been a "Blue Velvet" soundtrack outtake, Best Coast's cover of "Little Saint Nick," the Lemon Twigs' "Coventry Carol," Korey Dane's tribute to a cross-dressing cowboy "Christmas With Bandini," SUSTO's reggae "Feliz Navidad," Great Grandpa's grungy "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)," Kevin Morby's synth-bass and autoharp version of "Blue Christmas," the Mexican Institute of Sound's cross between synthpop and mariachi on "It's Christmas in Latin America," Albert Hammond's weepy "The Little Boy That Santa Claus Forgot," Dean and Britta's Velvets-influenced "Little Altar Boy," Eisley's modern take on 60s pop "Oh Winter," Coco Hames' crunch-pop "(There Won't Be) One More Christmas," Freedom Fry's ballad "When the Snowflakes Fall," and Slow Dancer's minor-key guitar-based take on "Wonderful Christmastime." Graze 'em or just put the whole three-year playlist on your Amazon Music app.
