Christmas

Lynyrd Skynyrd

Southern rock grit meets holiday cheer. A blend of swampy guitar boogie and sentimental acoustic ballads for a humid, blue-collar Christmas.

Christmas Time Again is a rare holiday record that manages to feel like a Saturday night at a roadside tavern without losing the warmth of a Sunday morning. It replaces the usual orchestral gloss of Christmas music with the signature triple-guitar attack and swampy grooves that define Lynyrd Skynyrd. You can almost smell the woodsmoke and pine needles through the speakers as Johnny Van Zant's raspy baritone guides you through a mix of high-octane rockers and tender, stripped-back moments. It is a celebration of the season that feels lived-in, honest, and distinctly Southern.

Moments Worth Listening For
The transition from a bluesy shuffle into a blistering slide guitar solo on Run Run Rudolph.
The moment the fiddle kicks in on Santa Claus Is Coming to Town, turning a standard into a barn-burner.
The hushed, reverent vocal delivery on the acoustic-driven Mama's Song that grounds the album's festive energy.
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
