Last Lone Noel ©Craig Evans & Gary Walker, BMI. All Rights Reserved
Beginning of December's gone, the Christmas season's here
The snows have started earlier this year
And though I walk alone tonight with no one to wish me well
I'm living my last lone Noel
I go downtown to see the lights and hear the childrens' song
I've stood alone and watched so very long
& Rising from among the crowd I still hear the sound of bells
I'm living my last lone Noel
We live our lives on separate lines that seldom seem 2 cross
But Christmas time can free the blind
And save us from the lonely cost
Before all love is lost
When snow is falling on the ground and winter's in the air
Take the time to see what's yours to share
We're really not so all alone But sometimes it's hard to tell
I'm living my last lone Noel
I'm living my last lone Noel
I'm living my last lone Noel

My First Christmas With You ©2002 Craig Evans (BMI)
Here’s to my first Christmas with you
I can’t wait for all the things that we’ll do
Christmas time is my favourite time of year
We can take long walks in the snow
Or come inside beneath the mistletoe
I can’t wait for my very first Christmas with you
We’ll sing the Christmas carols
The songs both old & new
But it’s gonna feel so different this year
‘cause I’ll be singing them with you
Through the years as the weather gets cold
And you’re here to have and to hold
I’ll remember my very first Christmas with you

It's Not Christmas (When My Baby's Not Around) ©Greg Marrs, BMI. All Rights Reserved.
I’m not steppin’ out for Christmas
And I don’t feel like tinseling the town
And it’s true that I’m blue, and it’s all ‘cause of you
It’s not Christmas, when my baby’s not around
I’m not in the Christmas spirit
Though I drank so deeply I could drown
At the end of the bottle, there’s no you to cuddle
It’s not Christmas, and my baby’s not around
Oh, holy night -- the stars are shining bright
There should be laughter, and caroling out in the snow
But oh, lonely night -- I could be holding you tight
But there’s no lovin’, no kissin’ I’m missin’ you so.
I’m not waitin’ up for Santa
Cause I know that he’ll only let me down
And I’m too blue to carol, or wear gay apparel
It’s not Christmas, and my baby’s not around
Oh, holy night -- the stars are shining bright
There should be laughter, and caroling out in the snow
But oh, lonely night -- I could be holding you tight
But there’s no lovin’, no kissin’ I’m missin’ you so.
I’m not steppin’ out for Christmas
And I don’t feel like tinseling the town
Darlin’ please come back home,
I can’t make it a - lone
It’s not Christmas, when my baby’s not around
It’s not Christmas, when my baby’s not around

The Taters Richmond, Virginia
Roots-pop: an eclectic mix of roots-rock, power-pop, country, and Americana, a sound that's been described as "Country roots- pop with the genius songwriting of 60's & 70's power-pop, …a curious mix of Mavericks, Everly Brothers, Roy Orbison and Beatles" Billboard magazine calls it "American roots-rock with thoroughly modern, totally hip sensibilities" ... more

Jonathan Coulton & company do an amazing job of channeling the sound of the 70s on this album of early & mid-century covers!
