Arkansas-reared, avant-roots/rock 'n' roll raconteur Tav Falco is sure to make the holidays merry with his first collection of Christmas songs. A fixture on the international music scene since 1981, Falco has been described by The New York Times as A singer, guitarist and researcher of musical arcana who hasn't let his increasingly technical expertise and idiomatic mastery compromise the clarity of his vision. At the start of a scorching hot July 2017 in Memphis, Falco and his distinguished group of musical vagabonds ensconced themselves at Sam Phillips Recording Service studios in Memphis. The result is A Tav Falco Christmas.
