Here's the second Christmas Elvis-styled post. I know it may not be fair to post this as a Presleyan thing, but if I didn't tell you it was someone else, and you were a casual music fan, you might be fooled.Jack Scott (official Myspace wiki AMG) was a Canadian-born rockabilly performer, who had 19 hit singles in 41 months, a record surpassed only by The Beatles. Yet today nobody knows who he is. (You can click on any of those links if that applies to you, of course.)
This record is a classic Christmas favorite on all the music blogs, and I can see why. It begins with a quote from Clement Moore and rapidly becomes a funky slab of rockin country, with a full band blasting the song out, and an irreverent take on Santa as a sex object.
