UPDATE (not much later that same day): When I posted this at three in the morning, there was a download button. It seems like, three hours later, there wasn't. It happens sometimes. In this case, I know she intended to make it downloadable, so I can't explain why its not anymore. Sometimes they cap downloads. Or, who knows, maybe the BBC or Roy Wood had a problem with it. I could be rude and just obliterate the entire post...but I won't.
I'm rather fond of the recent trend of slowing down and stripping bare some of the classic Rock era Christmas tunes. Here Indie Folk artist Alexandra Jayne takes on Roy Wood's classic kitchen sink Christmas record, "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day". Last year, Alexandra's "1969" won the Liverpool Acoustic Songwriting Challenge and she's been the voice of the BBC Radio Shropshire Song of the Month in back-to-back months, including this very track which is the Song of The Month for December. She's been compared to Joan Baez, but I'm getting a bit of a Janis Ian vibe, myself. Enjoy the Christmas song, downloadable from Soundcloud, but (seriously) check out "1969". You won't regret it.
