"...all of these songs are either fun or funny... fast and frivolous ... very few overly familiar tracks ...with like-minded musicians that like to throw a little swing into their season... If you want to laugh and dance your way into Dec. 25, Christmas Jug Band's "Jugology" is your golden ticket." - Dan MacIntosh, Country Standard Time

"A wild ride of hokum powered by some of the all stars you've been digging in the background all these years... A gasser for anyone with a sense of humor, this isn't a novelty record but it sure is a one of a kind collection. Trust me, almost every house needs this in it's Christmas music collection. Killer stuff from the hippie/beatnik left field." - Chris Spector, Midwest Record
