A Year End List from These Green Eyes

These Green Eyes, fresh off the Atticus tour, have decided to celebrate the coming Holidays with a cover of The Kinks “Father Christmas.” The track can be heard exclusively on AbsolutePunk.net, but will be made available to the public to download for one day only (Tuesday 12/23) on LiveDaily.com. For a glimpse into the recording of “Father Christmas” check out the video diary here.

The recording of “Father Christmas” only half completed the Holiday and end of the year traditions for lead singer Colin Cunningham. The other half of the tradition has come in the form of an end of the year list packed with the best albums and best songs of the year along with the album he deemed “biggest disappointment”.
