BGS WRAPS: Josh Rouse, “Christmas Songs”

Artist: Josh Rouse
Song: “Christmas Songs”
Album: The Holiday Sounds of Josh Rouse

From the Artist: “[‘Christmas Songs’] was written a few weeks before recording the record. I was on tour in Sweden and I needed one more song to add to the group I had been collecting for years, an end credit if you will. I had Lee Hazlewood and the album Cowboy in Sweden in mind.” — Josh Rouse

WATCH: Langhorne Slim, “Old Things”

Artist: Langhorne Slim
Hometown: Nashville, Tennessee
Song: “Old Things”
Album: Lost At Last Vol. 1
Label: Dualtone Music Group, Inc.

In Their Words: “Here’s a new song about old things off of #LostatLastVol1 filmed with love by Wonderscope on Super 8mm in beautiful ol’ Lancaster, PA • I’ve always adored Super 8mm ~ It somehow makes things look the way I hope my music sounds. I was going for a Fats Domino meets Lee Hazlewood kinda tune here. I’m pretty sure it doesn’t sound like either… If ya got a minute and fifty-one seconds and ya dig old things too, check this puppy out – I hope you enjoy!” — Langhorne Slim
