​Murder by Death (from the album Lonesome Holiday available on Tentshow Records)
Awash in luxurious strings, brushed drums, and a warm-fire cozy baritone Lonesome Holiday is a seasonal offering wrapped up as new release from Murder by Death. The album is stacked high with end-of-the-year friendly songs, Murder by Death reworking their favorite tracks as gifts. Many of the tunes stay true to the album title when Murder by Death cover Elvis Presley  with “Blue Christmas”, borrow “(Baby Please) Come Home for Christmas” from Darlene Love with a true-to-original version, and read Bing Crosby’s letter home from a soldier on “I’ll Be Home for Christmas”.
 
The mood is celebratory as Murder by Death send out a Hawaiian greeting with “Mele Kelikimaka” and take a ride down Lindsay Buckingham’s “Holiday Road” from the National Lampoon Vacation film franchise. Stay-at-Home NYE reminders make an appearance on Lonesome Holiday when Murder by Death make a resolution in “Let’s Get Tight” and exit on a front porch jam with Huey ‘Piano’ Smith’s “Happy New Year”.
