    All Music Guide Review

    Inspired by The Beatles Fan Club Christmas EPs and Phil Spector's Christmas LP, popmeisters The Shoes put together this compilation of 16 bands, most relatively obscure, and came up with some pure pop delights. This Yule punch bowl is filled with jingly-jangly guitars, Beatlesesque melodies and harmonies, Spector Wall of Sound sleigh bells, and more to brighten your holiday listening. Standouts are many, including The Shoes' "This Christmas," Bill Lloyd's Marshall Crenshaw-ish "Underneath the Christmas Tree," The Idea's Byrdsy "It's About that Time," Matthew Sweet's "Baby Jesus," and The Cavedogs' "Three Wise Men and a Baby" sounds like an outtake from The Beatles (aka The White Album). ~ Dennis MacDonald, All Music Guide
