Inflatable Christmas Tree Vol. 2 - 2007
Happy Holidays
Inflatable Christmas Tree has always been meant to set the mood while you and yours have a great time in the coming year. If you end up enjoying a song or an artist enough to listen to more, all the better.
Holy Moses
Sound Dimension | Jamaican Soul Shake
I thought that this song makes a triumphant announcement heralding in the holiday season.
Come On! Let’s Boogey to the Elf Dance!
Sufjan Stevens | Songs for Christmas
This is one of the best Christmas songs ever written. Listen to the lyrics, I dare you not to smile.
Handclapping Song
The Meters | New Orleans Funk
A little background music for your holiday party, The Meters always bring the funk. So, clap your hands and shake it like a bowl full of jelly.
Una Muy Bonita
Ornette Coleman | Beauty Is A Rare Thing
This is one of my favorite jazz songs, upbeat, and keeps even non-jazz fans’ attention. Hopefully you like it too.
Three Little Birds
Bob Marley & The Wailer | Exodus
Everything is always alright after this song plays. I usually find myself humming the chorus later in the day. It is the 30th anniversary of this album’s release, but it never gets old to me.
Pass The Peas
The J.B’s | Funky Good Time: The Anthology
The backing band for James Brown would like to join you in your holiday meal. So pass the good stuff around the table and save room for dessert.
Akera Ka Abonshor
Sierra Leone Refugee All-Stars | Living Like a Refuges
Not exactly sure what these guys are saying, but I like sound of it.
(Untitled)5
Directions In Music | Directions In Music
This song captures the wonderment of winter mornings when you look out the window and everything is covered in snow and all is quiet.
No Man’s Land
Sufjan Stevens | Little Miss Sunshine Soundtrack
I enjoyed this movie immensely. Especially, when the family is pulled over by the police with their deceased grandfather in the trunk of the car and the father pronounces to the entire family, “Alright, everyone just pretend to be normal”.
Relaxing With Lee
Charlie Parker | The Essential Charlie Parker
This song has grown on me, and for some reason I just felt it fit. The Bird was really something, and the piano part is quite catchy.
Soulful Christmas
James Brown | James Brown Funky Christmas
James Brown passed away last year at Christmas time, so it seemed only fitting to have him wish everyone a Merry Christmas as only he could do. You will be missed godfather.
When You’re Smiling
Louis Armstrong | Louis Armstrong Greatest Hits
Hopefully you enjoyed some of the tunes on this album and that you and yours have a wonderful Holiday Season and a Happy New Year.
As the song goes, keep smiling,
Conor & Sara
