Search - Various Artists :: Dysfunctional Family Christmas

Putting the fun in dysfunctional during the holidays are a bunch of Nashville cats slumming under some pseudonyms and their own handles to deliver this ribald collection of howlers and hisses. On the howl side, Jerry Pate connects with "A Poor Boy's 12 Days of Christmas," depicting one sorry cracker whose unraveling life includes a big divorce, demanding kids, an unfaithful new girlfriend, job loss, legal bills, poor physical and mental health... you get the idea. And in a prefect parody of soap opera histronics, Lana Brown scores with "Dysfunctional Family Holidays," a tune that is probably truer than most would care to admit. Still, not everything works, but when it does, you'll be shaking like a bowl full of Jell-O listening to "Another White Trash Christmas" or the Humbugz "1-800-CHRISTMAS." Call and order yours today while the tinsel's still fresh. --Martin Keller
