highjinks"

ON THE ROOF"
BY: THE CHRISTMAS JUG BAND
GLOBE RECORDS #GLO-020
Long Anticipated 3rd album by the stalwart purveyors of the Jugabilly Mystique:
Dan Hicks
("Canned Music"), Paul Rogers
(Those Darn Accordions), Tim Eschliman (Etta James,
Rhythmtown Jive),
Austin de Lone (Nick Lowe), Lance Dickerson (original

and Blake Richardson with special guests Norton Buffalo
(Steve Miller), Gregory Leroy
Dewey (Mad River, Country Joe & the Fish),
Paul Robinson
(Al Stewart), and more
In celebration of 20 seasons of San
Francisco Bay Area Christmas shows, these kings of skiffle-swing have delivered an over 53
minute all-acoustic tirade on the offbeat side of the holidays. As is their wont, this
album features originals, parody rewrites of unlikely standards, and just plain old wacky
renderings of traditional holiday numbers. "Rhythm on the Roof" threatens to outpace the
CJB's own "Mistletoe Jam" as one of the top
classic alternative Christmas albums.
