Former Lowest of the Low frontman Stephen Stanley joins me on Episode 40 to do a Christmas edition of No Sleep ’til Sudbury. We chat about his new group The Stephen Stanley Band and their excellent new record Jimmy & The Moon, and then we get into the holiday tunes that make his skin vibrate.

Also discussed: the ironic fact that many Christmas songs were in fact written by Jewish composers, the amazing career of Darlene Love, and how Paul McCartney’s “Wonderful Christmastime” continues to be reviled year after year. Poor Macca.

 

Stanley’s playlist:

Andy Williams – Sweet Little Jesus Boy

Barbra Streisand – The Christmas Song

Bob Dylan – Do You Hear What I Hear

Elvis Presley – Holly Leaves and Christmas Trees

John Denver – Aspenglow

Ray Coniff Singers – Jolly Old St Nick Medley
