&quot;I thought Gridlock Christmas was one of the best Christmas items we received this past holiday season!&quot;<br />- Dr. Demento (American Radio Personality)<br /><br />&quot;For trenchant comment, few Christmas novelties can top &quot;Christmas Is Coming Twice This Year&quot; by the Hollytones.&quot;<br />- Steven Otfinoski, author, The Golden Age of Novelty Songs<br /><br />&quot;It takes real musical talent to spoof real musical talent. The Hollytones-a trio of veteran Orange County musicians, plus a large guest cast-pull it off on this charming, well-wrought and impressively varied collection. The album&#39;s 14 original Christmas songs work on two levels. There&#39;s pop-parody as the Hollytones send up or pay homage to a wide array of styles: Elvis Presley and Ray Charles, vaudevillian crooning and Merle Haggard-style working-man&#39;s honky-tonk blues, Beach Boys lofty harmonizing, psychedelic rock and even New Age music. And there are playful, occasionally pointed observations in Yule-related lyrics and skits that range from the gently barbed to the sweetly sentimental.&quot;<br />-Mike Boehm (The Los Angeles Times)
