BIG RED is on THE ROOF A Songstrosity of the St. Nick-Specific ~2001
My annual Holiday comp, edition of 50 in full-packaging.
(this was one of 2 different Xmas titles I churned-out in the '01 season)
80 minutes: 40 tracks (10 of which are brief audio clips).

Another festive frolic through the familiar and the not with random surprises and custom edits. Many usual suspect holiday songs are absent since this mix is solely Santa-related songs. There is heavy usage of Simpson's clips, but not the most obvious ones (they were used up on other Xmas comps years before this one!). Just when you think it's all over, a brief respite of silence peels back to the melancholic sounds of Flander's roof-mounted, mechanized-Santa 'ho-ho-hos' mixing with the howling night wind. This looped over and over for 2 minutes!

The majority of this release was conceived during the track foraging for my double-disc holiday release of the prior year, therefore editing was largely cosmetic and enjoyable. As the years go by, inevitably one encounters scads of songs that should've been included or edged out others -but c'est la vie!

Alright - this is my favorite x-mas mix ever! It looks totally fun and I'm sure it stands up to repeat listens. Extra candy canes for the buck owens and hasil adkins picks. And your cover work is just incredible - way ahead of the majority of commercially available x-mas discs.

Spike the eggnog and fire up the CD player. This holiday confection is sweeter than a candy cane and more fun than a sleighful of Rankin-Bass specials. Awesome mix!
