Run Rudolph Run

What is your favorite rock n’ roll Christmas song?

Lots of holiday songs get done and redone over time. Some of them were never envisioned to be arranged for a rock format. There is one that stands out for me and that is Chuck Berry’s “Run Rudolph Run” – a Christmas song that was written for rock and roll by the Godfather of rock n’ roll.

There are many terrific versions (the original and Dave Edmunds come immediately to mind) but the one for all my fun is Keith Richards version released in December, 1978. Check it out for yourself here:

Lost In A Daydream (Demo)

Lannie Flowers

Here is the original demo sent to Pat Buchannan, studio guitarist extraordinaire, and what follows is our instructions to him: "Lost In A Daydream (for single or compilation; not Home album) I Am The Walrus treatment" I'd say he and drummer Scott Trammell nailed it! Check out the final version on Lannie's new album "Flavor of the Month."
