Christmas Cocktails Part Two
"Christmas Cocktails Part Two"
Various Artists, 1997

     Looking for some tunes to make your yule cool? Well, as you know, Capitol Record's Ultra-Lounge series is the best in lounge music, so it isn't surprising that Ultra-Lounge is the place to turn for those swinging tunes you need for your hipster holiday--or maybe the perfect stuffer for those fishnet stocking of choice--or maybe a present for the fat guy in the red zoot suit. What ever the reason, Christmas Cocktails has gather up the standards and throw in enough spice to give then a kick (kinda like that astro-powered eggnog you've got there). We all want holiday tunes that remind us of those Christmas' long ago, but we also don't want to hear the same old "Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer" again. Some of these tune have been lost (until now) in musty music vaults, but Capitol Records, being the champs of lounge music they are, have rescued these audio treasures for future generations of cool cats and kittens to enjoy. Christmas Cocktails Part Two contains gems like the surf guitar powered Ventures doing "Frosty The Snow Man," the king of exotica Martin Denny doing a holiday mutation called "Exotic Night," Julie London giving the sultry treatment to "Warm December," and the Nat King Cole Trio doing the otherwise annoying ditty "All I Want For Christmas "Is My Two Front Teeth." You can find out more about the Ultra-Lounge series at their website.
