Rating: *****
I can't give this the most honest review, as I'm no deep funk expert, but I have to say the concept is excellent--it is a compilation of Christmas themed funk songs to get your groove on with your loved ones this holiday season. If you are looking to boogie down, get ready to dance. A very enjoyable listen all the way through, featuring some well known funk stars such as Jimmy Reed, as well as many forgotten artists. Songs often fuse familiar Christmas standards with a funk rhythms such as on "Auld Lang Style" and the amazing "Funky Funky Christmas".
