Download: Grillade – Just A Sad Christmas

Neither holly, nor jolly, the song is a cover, originally performed by Soul Duo and recorded for their second ever 7” single in 1969. Unearthed, adored and reinvented by Grillade, “Just A Sad Christmas” is the group’s first official release and is available on iTunes, Amazon and other digital retailers now. On why the band selected this obscure piece to cover, vocalist Ragen Fykes offers:

“Sad Christmas embodies the soul of Christmas now. It has meat, it has bite. It reflects on the
vast majority that are shadowed by Jingle Bells. Not everybody is standing under the mistletoe this year, not everyone is having a Holly Jolly Christmas. Its The christmas song you would never hear, but should hear. It offers a musical release from Grillade, for those in need. Tis the season.”
