Have Mercy This is a Terrible Album

I love Cash. And I love Christmas. I even love some Christmas music. But this is horrible. Absolutely uninspired and pedestrian.

"Figgy Puddin" is downright scary. Not as scary as the cover art but right up there.

    Are sure that is not Richard Nixon on the album cover?

    I had no idea this even existed. I'm tempted to listen to it now, but also afraid.

    @displayname Skip over Figgy Puddin and you'll live to tell the tale. Or listen to ONLY Figgy Puddin and save yourself some time. :)

    There is also a James Brown Christmas album.....yes, I own it. I have yet to listen to it, however....

    Also, if you have not heard it, I HIGHLY recommend The Residents "The King and I" CD. It has been out of print for years, but damn, it's funny? scary? "Teady Bear" is absolutely devistating....

    Taken from a recent Audioholics reply regarding "Club Polk" and Polk speakers:
    "I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion." :\
    My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....
