Indiekören – Last Christmas


Our first cover from Budapest! The Cotton Club Singers give the world an a capella jazz version that’s pretty exciting. It’s from their 2000 Holiday maxi cd single that I’m not sure where to buy. Sorry.

Hey now here’s another great version. It’s nothing new stylistically, just a very well done acoustic take with whistles and holiday heartbreak. His other releases have been compared to The Beta Band or Badly Drawn Boy.

Yeah I know, The Quarrymen?? I tried to verify this on walmart.com which apparently has it for download, but I’m using a Mac and it wouldn’t let me. Get with it WalMart!
