Powerage5 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Not too excited about the covers album; I've already heard most of what interests me on that (Though I'm really looking forward to Jean Genie!). However, I can't wait for the Christmas album! His version of Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas is one of my most played songs at the holidays.

RocketQueen1985 Posted September 12, 2011 Author Share Posted September 12, 2011 (edited) Scott is very religious and according to his ex wife he loves christmas. When he was in jail he taught other inmates songs and they ended up making a christmas carol quoir So I'm not surprised about him releasing a christmas album at all! But yeah, the cover is not impressive.His version of Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas is amazing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fpxmDAOePQ&feature=relatedAnd I love Camp Freddy's version of Merry Xmas Everybody Edited September 12, 2011 by RocketQueen1985 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
