Jacob Golden - Feeling Like Christmas
If you like Christmas music then you'll love the mp3hugger curated Christmas compilation 'An Indiecater Christmas', you can buy it here!
Well Folks that’s it. This is the 24th and final day of our indie Christmas songs project. I must admit I struggled to keep it running, not because the songs were drying up though as it has been a wonderful December for festive music. I have been mindful of the fact that this day would come so I wanted to end the series with something special. As it happened this piece of magic only arrived yesterday by way of a myspace bulletin and from the word go it fitted the bill. Shame on you if you haven’t already frequented Jacob Golden’s glorious sophomore ‘Revenge Songs’, a touching personal journey that was recorded in a variety of non studio locations. Golden’s humility lends itself to deeply affecting performances and richly intimate and innovative song structures. ‘Feeling Like Christmas’ is an old song of the same name reworked with new lyrics and is only available from his website. As with all Golden moments his voice is alone save for some intrepid acoustics, which makes it a perfect companion for warm firesides over the next few days.
In other news mp3hugger is pulling down the shutters for about a week or so to engage merrily with a completely non-online world. Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas. Nollaig Shona! KD
