he release of "UNCORKED" marks the silver anniversary of that momentary lapse of sanity grown to ubiquitous proportions, known as The Christmas Jug Band. This milestone recording was richly engineered by the great FRED CATERO (Pointer Sisters, Santana, Barbra Streisand's "People." Sly & the Family Stone) and Arjan MacNamara, who know the idiosyncrasies of capturing acoustic eccentricities better than anyone. This irreverent crewe delivers a dozen season-stopping classics spearheaded by the great classic already making a buzz, "SANTA LOST A HO". A new Christmas tradition not to be missed!
