about

Here's a throwback from the 2013 Soul Shop holiday party at the Plough & Stars in Cambridge, MA, celebrating the release of the Shop's first Xmas album, "Last Month Of The Year."

The Soul Shop stands less than a mile from the location of the tavern where "Jingle Bells" was composed in 1850. This is a long-overdue take on the keystone Medford holiday classic.

Recorded with one mic in the back of the room, the way live albums should be made. David Hinckley stole this boogaloo arrangement from Don Rich of the Buckaroos and made it his own, with a liquor-in-the-punch-bowl backing from the Shop house rhythm section.

As the Hinck himself put it: "When you're getting ready for all the Christmas parties this season, consider this your benchmark of what a real party should sound like."
