OX-Silent Night and Other Cowboy Songs

This year, I’ve decided not to do a bunch of Holiday posts or Christmas covers (ironic or otherwise) because I’m just not in the mood.  Mr. Change seems to have betrayed us all, and the world seems too broken to be celebrating the pagan gift day anyway.

But I’m not going to let that stand between me, my review, and you, and Ox.  Ox, an indie band led by Mark Browning, has released what may be one of the best Christmas albums in years.  It’s largely traditional–nothing terribly offensive or experimental–which, frankly, is how X-mas music ought to be.  But at the same time it’s authentic and original, with a country-tinged, folk-rock style.  Very original, and highly recommended.
