Check out this podcast from World's of Wayne. This one features an interview from Lash LaRue, local musician and driving force behind the toy drive/fundraiser for the Pine Ridge Reservation. This podcast features a preview of a few tracks from the Christmas for Pine Ridge Volume II CD, which you can buy here.
I really dig the first track on the podcast from Big Daddy Ho-slap (AKA Brad Hoshaw). The track is called 'It's Christmas Eve and We've Been Drinkin' Since Noon' and, well...it's not one of your mother's Christmas tunes. One of the best things about this song is the fact that I spent my Christmas night in Benson, at a bar, with Big Daddy Ho-slap, talking about soul music over a glass of bourbon. This guy really means what he sings.
Anyway, as it says on the site for the toy drive, 'there are topics from drinking, loving, breaking up, cheatin' hearts, body snatchers and more.. and a bad word here or there.' I have only heard a few tracks from the CD so far but I plan on picking it up soon.

I must say 'It's Christmas Eve and We've Been Drinkin' Since Noon' is exactly how I spent my Christmas Eve. I need to hear this song.
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty great. I mean, it's pretty country, but it's supposed to be, and that's what makes it hilarious. Marcy and I went to Jake's on Christmas night (after Marcy'd spent the day drinking in her bedroom and after I'd spent the day being pissed about my lame family and mountains of snow). I literally had to dig her car out of the snow and push it out of the driveway to get us there, but it was totally worth it. We took up shop at the bar and drank bourbon and tasty beers all night long. And the Hosh was right there with us.
ReplyDeleteNoon; you guys are light weights.
ReplyDeleteApparently, we are all a bunch of drunkies. Surprising? Not even a little.
