Here we have the rare meeting of disparate acts and actors coalescing into one brilliant display. Expected but welcome parts such as the gruff one, the tenor one, the angelic one, the cameos, the old standards and new, the Peanuts album cover, that sax on "Baby Come Home," it's all there. The assembly of the album itself feels as such an Xmas movie, full of holiday clichés and charming surprises. In that the product delivers on 26 minutes of quality is nearly unbelievable, happening in conjunction with a strong football season, in these post-post-ironic times that we lie in. Hallmark will likely pick this up (or Hallmark Murders & Mysteries). This is the album for non-sportsballers to talk to sportsballers with at the virtual water cooler, holiday party, and new year bash. Go birds, merry Xmas.
