Just in time for the holidays Daptone Records releases this gem from Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings. This is the first holiday song she's recorded and it's fantastic on so many levels. This song is not about the hopelessness that comes with living in the projects or the ghetto as the title implies. It's actually about her realizing when she got older that her mother actually filled the role of Santa Claus. The music that the Dap-Kings provide on this is amazing as usual, and Sharon's vocals sparkle.

Daptone Records is actual making this available in the 45 record format that can be purchased HERE. Enjoy.
