GREAT tune! You can play every track....Just scroll to the "Christmas Spirit" playlist on their music player on MySpace. Makes Tuesday even harder to wait for!

I haven't been able to hear any of the Christmas songs due to my slow dial-up connection, so I'm really looking forward to tomorrow when I get the CD at my local Wal-Mart. I sure hope they have it!

I don't see anything about the Christmas album on their blogs.
And I can't play the Christmas album on the myspace music player, tells me it's not available :mad: :( :confused:
Oh well, I'll be hearing it tomorrow! ;)

I went to get a sneak peek of the songs, but also couldn't play iton their myspace player :mad:
So I went out and BOUGHT IT! LOL :D
Gotta say--- I'm into Carols of the Bells! Who knew a Drum SOLO would sound so Natural in that song!!! LOL :rolleyes:

I love it! Awesome album guys! :cool:

I bought Christmas Sprit this morning at my local Wal-Mart. There was only one left. I was sure lucky to get the last one.

All the tracks are beautiful. I'll be playing this non stop until Christmas! :D

This is a fun cd. My daughter and I agree that a couple of the classics on this have that wonderful BLUE CAT BLUES flavor to them (Run Run Rudolph, Santa Claus Is Coming To Town, Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer, Feliz Navidad). That old school bluesy sound is one of our favorite spices in that LLB Musical Burrito. The instrumental songs are absolutely beautiful. Thanks for the early Christmas guys!!

i have decided that Carol of the Bells was written expressly for our Loopie, CAROLLG -- okay? i'ts officially her song now. (along with any other Carol's we have amongst us).

Brand new Super Target by my house didn't have it-and they had a huge section of new holiday music-grrrrrr-it SHOULD be there!!

Well, I finally got the Cd in NH. I was glad to finally see it in the store. I LOVE LOVE LOVE "I long for Christmas"! I love when the kids sing, it really gets to me. Also, Jojo's voice is amazing. He is really maturing vocally. I wish they did "Please come home for Christmas", you know ...."Bells will be ringing..." I bet they could have done a great job with the music. It just says LLB!

My only complaint is it is way too short!! It gets over way too fast. :D
I too am hooked on the first three songs and have played them a lot the last few days. :D

Maybe they saved some songs to make another christmas album next year :eek:

Man, I have been trying to get the cd since Tuesday. I went to 2 Targets,
1 Walmart, Borders and Barnes & Noble. No one.... :mad:
I called Best Buy and they said they have some..so I will be getting it tomorrow. But I DID go on iTunes and downloaded it. It is a fun cd. I will say that Silent Night is so beautiful; they are soooo soooo good.

My area Wal Mart of course DIDN'T have it, and after a-not-so-subtle tongue lashing I tromped off to FYE, and they DID have it, although pricier than most stores, but well worth it!! I adore their OWN songs, but I have to say Silent Night actually brought me to tears with it's beauty!!! Carol of the Bells is also amazing!!! I agree Debra about the "seasoning/spices"... well put!! The harmonies, blues and little elves in the background of each song ...OMG all I can say is I HOPE these songs get airtime...they are TOOO freakin' good to NOT BE!!! STANDING OVATION to you Henry, Ringo, JoJo and all the little ( and big) elves!!! So Mark are you going to enlighten us as to your Santa's little helper side-job?

bummed they didn't have it at the wal-mart here either. the search is on!

Chris, so far, bestbuy and borders have it but you may have to ask bestbuy to check Christmas inventory in the back. Maybe if you tell them your name is short for "Christmas", they'll produce. i hear walmart will not carry them in-store -- only online, which seems odd. and target not at all either. their loss.

10-22-2008, 07:43 AM

I got mine at wal-mart, last Tuesday. Wonder why noone else can. They had four copies and I bought two. I checked the other day, and the other two were gone! Maybe closer to Christmas, more stores will display them. I just dont unerstand why sony will put out the cd, and then make it so hard to get. Its really frustrating. :confused:

It's all PRETTY STUPID, STUPID, STUPID!!!!!!!! They boys work soooo hard, and they could sell alot of CD's if we could find them.. DUHH.......Someone needs to work on that problem. I feel bad for the boys on this topic.

I couldn't find one at Wal-Mart either. I tried Hastings, and they told me the Christmas CD wasn't scheduled to get there until Oct 28. :mad:

I found two more at WalMart today in their freshly merchandised FOUR rows of Christmas tunes. (I took both of them :D). But, so far....the best place I've been able to find multiples at is Best Buy.

I hired a DJ to do our family Christmas Party. We hire him every year. We do a family reunion every year at Christmas. So, I am going to send him the new LLB Xmas cd so maybe he can use it for his other christmas parties. So, if anyone knows any DJ's, it's a good way to give the boys some airplay. But since I'm buying him one, he has to play it alot during our party! WooHoo!!

Speaking of Christmas.... it's that time of year I suppose!
FOUR new LLB Christmas "videos" for you all to see (and hopefully laugh at)! Do the Boys ever come on here and look at this stuff?? I would hope so, we can't stop laughing and I'm sure they'd get a kick out of this too. Maybe somebody can send these to them. Let them know that's how WE do it up here in North Dakota! LOL Enjoy!!!

By the way, I talked to Kevin at Stubbs about I've Longed For Christmas.

As a special item, it does not have to go through the non-commercial / aaa radio bit to get to hit town.

A single was sent to the Adult Contemporary stations directly.

So, y'all can get calling your regular AC stations for I've Longed For Christmas.

And if your station says they don't have it yet, you please let Gigi know - or me - and I'll get the word back to have a single sent to your station.

Thanks -

Review from Errol on Errol's Weekly (a blog where he recommends new music to readers). Love this! Short and sweet, and oh so TRUE.....quote:

Christmas Spirit- Los Lonely Boys- How about a bluesy touch of Christmas? This album has a groove that will knock your stocking off the chimney. Check it out. ‘Nuff said.

Carol of the Bells is so beautifully done-I seriously get lost in that song when it's on and I'm driving (I passed my exit on the freeway today while listening and not paying attention-ha) It is an amazing rendition of one of my favorite Christmas songs-LOVE this CD!!

So, to use a song title pun, as Danny and I used to do...

You're saying "I want you to feel the same way that I do". (Real title: If)

I DO FEEL THE SAME WAY!

Run, Run, Rudolph has me by the ears! I can't stop playing it!

And I don't even LIKE Christmas music!
