HAVE A SURF ROCK CHRISTMAS WITH THE VENTURES CHRISTMAS ALBUM!

The Ventures Christmas Album By The Ventures

Why spend your Christmas in the snow when you can spend it on the beach? If you're from the Midwest like me, it's sort of easier said than done.  If you can't afford a plane ticket, you may have to travel via music.  That's where The Ventures Christmas Album comes into play.  The Ventures are the premier surf rock band.  I'm sure you've heard them a million times.  Along with artists like Dick Dale & The Deltones and The Beach Boys, their influence on the genre is incalculable.  Need more context? Ask for "context" in your letter to Santa Claus.  If you've been naughty and that's not possible, you can just click here.

On The Ventures Christmas Album, The Ventures interpret 12 Christmas classics including "Jingle Bell(s) (rock,)" "Frosty The Snowman" and "We Wish You A Merry Christmas."  The interpretations are pretty cool—and pretty quintessential Ventures.  The only truly "Christmas-y" thing about them are sleigh bells, which were added later.  Otherwise, it's pretty much straight-up surf rock.  This makes it tolerable for holiday music cynics who still don't want to be seen as total Scrooges.  

Hey—Hey you! That's right—YOU.   Have yourself a good holiday season.
