Bloodshot Records' 13 Days Of Xmas (Various Artists)

Limited translucent red and green colored vinyl LP pressing. 2017 holiday release. Bloodshot's 13 Days of Christmas is a-you guessed it-thirteen-song compilation of off-kilter original Christmas songs and unlikely covers by Bloodshot artists and friends like Murder By Death, Jon Langford, Kelly Hogan, and Ha Ha Tonka. The collection runs the gamut of garage rock, doo wop, honky tonk, surf, and more. From the traditional to the subversive, there's something for everyone's stocking. The people have been barkin' up our chimney about a holiday release for a long time, and we finally pulled up our stockings and got tinkering in the workshop.
