Not strictly world, but it’s got enough international influences to make me take it. I know KZSU isn’t much of a Christmas station, but it you’re in the mood, there’re are some sweet tracks here. Every track will make you ho-ho-ho. 1. Sweet and lazy acoustic folk, sweet guitar & simple male vox. 2. Midtempo bounce, sweet guitar, jingle bells, stripped-down goodness. 3. Big brassy fun, swampy downtempo New Orleans stride. 4. Gotta love Leon Redbone’s unique style on this relaxed classic. 5. Upbeat w/a hint of bossa, sexy female vocals. 6. Wicked good bluegrass mandolin instrumental. Upbeat & playful. 7. Midtempo Celtic folk w/gorgeous female vox/fiddle/guitar. 8. Brassy relaxed blend of polka & ska w/a great ooom-pah band sound. 9. Ukulele, fem vox, upbeat accordion, old-timey kitschy goodness. 10. Upbeat boogie-woogie swing, great band. Cool jumping harp. 11. Good-time New Orleans brass Christmas parade music. So fun. | ||
