Straight No Chaser - Christmas Cheer

[JamaicaFunk²]

All-male a cappella group who just released their incredible Christmas album, "Holiday Spirits."

Get these guys on Oprah and this will be THE holiday album of the year.

Their website offers three songs:
Africa (yes, the 80's song. It's included on the x-mas album.)
Christmas Wish
and 12 Days Of Christmas (live) - simply incredibly (and funny).

It's probably in your best interest to check them out. ;)

No one seems to care much (YET!) about this album...
but one of the members added me to his Facebook. Pretty cool I thought.

They're also #2 on Itunes Holiday albums.

I like the clips on their website, as I do most a cappella groups. I can't for the life of me figure out how "Africa" fits in on a holiday album, though.

I doubt I'll be picking up the album, but they'd sure be a nice holiday concert. Best of luck to 'em catching on.

#1 on Itunes right now.

It's number 1 on Amazon too (or it was the last time I looked).

This is my favorite Xmas album this year.

Have you listened to their live version of 12 Days of Christmas? It's pretty funny. If you listen to it, you'll understand why they made Africa a bonus track. I think it's to show people who don't know the song Africa exactly what they're spoofing in 12 Days.

Yeah, I heard the full version on the radio a few days after I initially posted. Made more sense then.

They just added a new song to their myspace.... it's called "Live Your Life and Flo With Whatever You Like."

It's a mix of Low, Live Your Life, Whatever You Like.

So good. I love these guys.

After some decent success last season with Holiday Spirits, SNC is back with Christmas Cheers. Personally, I prefer their first xmas album, but this is pretty good. And, iTunes has a deluxe version with their 6 song EP included... and those songs are ALL great!
