Cory Chisel and The Wandering Sons- "Born Again"
Christmas Cheer is certainly not your typical holiday album. Then again, the Boxmaster's front-man Billy Bob Thornton is not your typical anything. From the opening song "My Dreams of Christmas," which explores the well-worn themes of poverty and desperation but without a silver lining; to the song "Christmas in Prison" (the title explains it all) Christmas Cheer takes a somewhat darker, and certainly more redneck perspective on Christmas.
While this may not be the album to share with grandma and the kids, it is a great way to detox from one-too-many cloying Christmas television specials, and sappy greeting cards.
