JD McPHERSON: SOCKS: A Rock N' Roll Christmas!With Melissa Carper
Don't miss JD McPherson's 5th holiday tour celebrating his critically acclaimed 2018 Christmas album, "SOCKS."
"SOCKS" has quickly become a perennial favorite since its release and was written, produced, and arranged by McPherson and his bandmates at the time. It is a record rooted in the same timeless influences- from 1950's rock & roll to old-school rhythm & blues-that inspired his breakthrough release, "Signs and Signifiers," back in 2010. The Los Angeles Times called it "irresistible," saying "It's an utter joy, a vintage jump-blues/R&B/rockabilly workout devoid of treacly sentiment, but brimming over with child-like spirit" while Newsweek said "It's perfect for folks looking to celebrate...with some rocking and rolling holiday cheer." Like all of JD McPherson's work, "SOCKS" is a wonderful collection of opposites: new compositions inspired by old influences; familiar themes explored with fresh angles; classic sounds reinterpreted by a modern band. It's the rare kind of holiday album that packs a punch at any time of year.
Upon its original release, McPherson said of "SOCKS," "I've always loved Christmas music, especially popular Christmas music from the 1940's and '50s. There's something classic about that sound. Something that keeps you coming back, year after year."
