NEW NEWSONG
With multiple lead singer switches over the years, it's always tricky to keep track of
NewSong, but even so, the band's longevity remains undeniable. Though "Christmas Shoes" is currently ramping up airplay for the Christmas season, the band is back with an all new studio CD called
Give Yourself Away (His Honor Music), featuring the return of
Russ Lee after pursuing a solo career.
SEABIRD FOR THE HOLIDAYS
Alternative rockers
Seabird are celebrating the season with
The Silent Night EP (Credential), its first ever holiday endeavor. Expect to hear seasonal standards like "Silent Night" and "Joy To the World" spun in the band's ethereal style, alongside the bonus track "Don't You Know You're Beautiful."
TOM WAITS ON TOUR
He may not tour very often, but whenever
Tom Waits hits the road, it's an instant sell out and a subsequent scalper's field day. For those who couldn't get their hands on a ticket to the spiritually provocative singer/songwriter's latest jaunt,
Glitter and Doom Live (Anti) complies 2008 set list regulars from a variety of cities. Expect to hear "Get Behind the Mule" from Tulsa, "Falling Down" from Paris, "Trampled Rose" from Dublin" and "Lucky Day" from Atlanta (amongst many others).
