I've recorded four Christmas songs with my old band, and they're all fucking brilliant. I think BBC 6Music played one of them once. Let's hear 'em!

As long as none of you were ever involved with "Wonderful Christmastime"...

Did Rfreeman have to negotiate this performance?
“The Beagles can play on my farm, but you have to use a different singer and lead guitarist.”
“Can the singer read all the lyrics off a music stand?”
”...yes?”
”Deal!”

I actually really like the original version (even though my interest in The Kinks' back catalogue otherwise comes to a hard stop many years before it was released), but hearing it performed by what sounds like an 80s amateur-hour garage band, whose limited musical skills were frozen in time as their bodies aged, has sullied it forever.

A more competent guitar solo somehow makes it worse.

I like how every instrument and vocal manages to somehow sound buried. Well, except the tinkly keyboard.

Starts off with the extended Beagles Ensemble doing “Feliz Navidad”. Everyone looks like they’re having a blast, except for Rfreeman who is in the center of everything being an uncharismatic vacuum, reading the music stand the whole time. 1:12 it cuts to “Love At Christmas Time” (Joy is reading the “fa-la-la”s off the music stand. Guitar solo at 1:55. Returns to “Feliz Navidad” and credits roll.

Im just glad Chris DeVoe’s sister is still playing bass for them.
That Olive lady though, she needs to cut her ties with Freeman. Maybe she does music elsewhere but away from the Beagles I would listen to her.

I do believe the lead guitarist in the first video is the first person ever to model himself on Wild Willy Barrett
check it at 0.40

“RFreeman, you are the only person I know who can take a wonderful season like Christmas and turn it into a problem. Maybe Lon is right. Of all of the RFreemans in the world, you are the RFreemaniest.”
