Joe Perry Christmas EP Joeperrychristmasep

Joe Perry has just issued a four-song EP, "Joe Perry's Merry Christmas", via Unison Music Group. Perry's first-ever collection of holiday songs features four Christmas classics:

"White Christmas"
"Silent Night"
"Santa Claus Is Back In Town"
"Run Run Rudolph" with Johnny Depp on rhythm guitar.

"I have wanted to do a Christmas CD with AEROSMITH for years, but it seems we never have the time to record one," Joe says. "When my 'Rocks' book tour ended, the timing was right — we were in L.A. with access to a studio with some really talented friends and it all fell together. I was finally able to record some Christmas classics for the fans."

Question: With so many holiday songs out there, how did you choose these selections? And, why did you choose to record some as instrumentals and others as vocal tracks?

Joe Perry: "The two instrumentals are among the 10 most popular Christmas songs. Almost everyone knows the lyrics to 'Silent Night' and 'White Christmas', so we treated them as songs that people could sing along to, while staying close to the classic versions everyone knows. The two vocal songs, 'Santa's Back in Town' and 'Run Run Rudolph' are rockers made famous by Elvis and Chuck Berry. They are probably less well known so you would have to hear the lyrics to know they are Christmas songs. They are two of my favorite holiday songs."

Digital only?

Joes' done some Christmas songs in the past as well. Probably has enough for a full length Christmas album.

No. Click on the Unison Music link. You have a choice of digital download or cd ($4.99 +s/h). Don't know if it's a cheap cdr or what, but the option is there.
