Nelson Pigfoot & The Motivations - The Christmas SpiritSo Long

Review by Margrethe Aas Johnsen

Nelson Pigfoot & The Motivations have released their latest album, The Christmas Spirit So Long, just in time for the holiday season. The album is a unique blend of traditional Christmas music and Pigfoot's signature blues sound.

The album opens with "Merry Christmas Baby," a classic blues tune that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Pigfoot's smooth vocals and the Motivations' tight rhythm section make for a great combination. The album also includes covers of holiday favorites such as "Silent Night" and "Jingle Bells," but with Pigfoot's bluesy twist.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Christmas in Jail," a lesser-known holiday song that Pigfoot infuses with his own style. The lyrics tell the story of a man who spends Christmas in jail, and Pigfoot's soulful delivery adds a layer of emotion to the already poignant lyrics.

The album closes with "Christmas Spirit So Long," an original song written by Pigfoot that captures the bittersweet feeling of the end of the holiday season. The song showcases Pigfoot's songwriting skills and his ability to capture the essence of the season in a single song.

Summary by Margrethe Aas Johnsen

The Christmas Spirit So Long is a great addition to any holiday music collection. Pigfoot and the Motivations bring a fresh take on traditional Christmas music, and their bluesy sound is sure to get listeners in the holiday spirit.
