One of my favorite times of year is Christmas. And one of my favorite ways of celebrating is with Christmas music that's strange, wonderful and even a big bizarre. The Chicago blog Big Rock Candy Mountain does an amazing job of promoting great country tunes all year long, but come December 1st, they dig deep into the holiday crates, and come up with something special to post every single day. Visit daily for mp3s you can download or just stream for that extra-added holiday cheer (or jeer) that isn't the same ole same old. Beware, though, as some of their vintage photos which accompany the posts can be a big big on skin, and low on the tinsel, if you get my drift. Of course, this photo below, from the December 1st entry featuring a song by Detroit's Jimmy Kirkland titled "Hang Them High At Christmas," is just big on booze. Merry music!
