christmas, folk, acoustic, novelty, jug: [Includes FREE Uncorked postcard] The release of "UNCORKED" marks the silver anniversary of that momentary lapse of sanity grown to ubiquitous proportions, known as The Christmas Jug Band. This milestone recording was richly engineered by the great FRED CATERO (Pointer Sisters, Santana, Barbra Streisand's "People." Sly & the Family Stone) and Arjan MacNamara, who know the idiosyncrasies of capturing acoustic eccentricities better than anyone. This irreverent crewe of Dan Hicks, Austin deLone (Nick Lowe, Elvis Costello), Tim Eschliman (Etta James, Rhythmtown-Jive, Commander Cody), Paul Rogers (Those Darn Accordiions!), Jim Rothermel (Jesse Colin Young, Van Morrison), Adam Gabriel (Hank Ballard & The Midnighters), Lance Dickerson (Commander Cody, David Bromberg) and Blake Richardson deliver a dozen season-stopping classics spearheaded by the great Rogers classic already making a buzz,"SANTA LOST A HO". To help emphasize this monumental statement, original founding members Nick Dewey (Bodacious, Rowdy & the Rivets; first time on a CJB recording), Greg "Duke" Dewey (Mad River, Country Joe McDonald, Marty Balin) and Paul Wenninger (washtub virtuoso) were imported for the sessions. There are also special guest appearances by Norton Buffalo (doing the Marx Brothers classic "I Want A Hippopotamus for Christmas"), Texas blues master Angela Strehli, Bay Area favorite, Maria Muldaur (both on "Boogie Woogie Santa Claus"), and the great powerhouse soul-gospel of Mike Duke (Wet Willy, Delbert McClinton) on "Silent Night". Not being of a mind to under-staff such a masterpiece, the talent roster was topped off with Dan Hick's vocal back-up quartet, "The Fabulous Opinions" (including Eggs Over Easy's Brien Hopkins, Austin deLone and Jay David, plus Tim Eschliman). The marvelous original painting cover art was commissioned of Mark Keller who has created a marvelously tired and sleepy Santa being awoken by his elves in the 11th hour of Christmas Eve in a style remindful of the great Norman Rockwell. It all spells out a new Christmas tradition not to be missed! Reviews available More Artist Info More Artist Info More Artist Info More Artist Info |
