Xcellent Xmas Country Rock! The festive instrumental beaks was right on the red nose - as were the lyrics and production!

WOW!! Fabulous, Elliott. Your tribute singer even has that Cash warble, and sounds better than that old Sun Records cat. Very creative write. SO funny. I like how he does that riiiiight on time line. Man, this is a real gem, Elliott.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Cute tune! Love the Luther Perkins guitars and the Cash-like vocals. Will be sad when AI will do tribute songs like this so well nobody will even try to do it themselves...

Any BiaB in here?

Ho! Ho! Ho!
