Santa’s Roundeer (Rollin’ Wild).

Pure Calvin. [h/t Corrine L.]

Straight outta Gloucestershire, The Rocker Covers covered Carey in Bath, England.

The TractorsSanta Claus is Comin’ (in a Boogie Woogie Choo-Choo Train) has a nasty intro, but keep with it because it rocks and the vid is cool.

Early Postmodern Jukebox:
Scott Bradlee on keyboard, Ben Golder-Novick on saxoblaster.

Sleepy Man, formerly Sleepy Man Banjo Boys, aka the Mizzone brothers, polish up this overwrought standard.

That’ll do for now. Have a great weekend, folks and we’ll be back tomorrow for all your last-minute Christmas browsing needs.

Saturday Matinee – Wimberley Bluegrass Band, The Sleepy Man Banjo Boys & David Ford

The Wimberley Bluegrass Band
Parkfield Bluegrass Festival 5 May 2011.

The Wimberley Bluegrass Band is comprised entirely of four teenage siblings! Danielle plays the mandolin, James is a Deering endorsed artist and plays banjo, Mark, his twin, is a Black Diamond Strings endorsed artist and plays guitar, and Michael plays the fiddle. They all sing with Michael usually taking the lead and the others singing that tight harmony unique to family groups.

The Sleepy Man Banjo Boys.

“Brothers Jonny, Robbie and Tommy Mizzone are The Sleepy Man Banjo Boys, a trio of virtuoso bluegrass musicians who play with dazzling vivacity.
Did we mention they’re all under 16?”

David Ford at Sun Studios. Jump to 1:15 for one man awesome rock.

All three of these vids made me smile. Have a great weekend, and we’ll see you back here tomorrow.

Saturday Matinee – Sleepy Man Banjo Boys, Steve Karla & Rory Gallagher

Steve Karla’s “Black Swamp Blues” is original and awesome, and he’s a multi-talented bastard, too.

Rory Gallagher cranks some nice fat blues to lead us into another great weekend. See y’all back here tomorrow.
