The Swing Cats

...Presents A Rock-A-Billy Christmas

(Cleopatra Records)

Despite the billing, the musicians involved use several band names. Players include Danny. B. Harvey, Lee Rocker, Gary Twinn, and Slim Jim Phantom. First issued in 2001, this was just rereleased in both green vinyl and CD formats.

While the present writer makes it a rule to avoid holiday-themed rock 'n' roll, an annual exception is eagerly made in this case.
