The snow is sparklin’ in the moonlight tonight It’s Christmas eve, I wish you were holding me tight Until tomorrow All I can do is dream of Christmas day with you. I’m sittin’ here warming my heart by the fire I’m reading your love letters, filled with desire Until tomorrow All I can do is dream of Christmas day with you You promised you’d be with me on Christmas eve In the snow we’d kiss under the mistletoe I’m hoping and praying that you’re on your way I’ll wake up to hold you on Christmas day Whenever I feel alone and blue I close my eyes and picture your smile - ooooh Until tomorrow All I can do is dream of Christmas day with you You promised you’d be with me on Christmas eve In the snow we’d kiss under the mistletoe I’m hoping and praying that you’re on your way I’ll wake up to hold you on Christmas day If ever you doubt my love is true Just think of me by the Christmas tree waiting for you Until tomorrow All I can do is dream of Christmas day with you Dream of Christmas day with you Dream of Christmas day

about

On "It's a Crime Scene Christmas," we find a vivacious Kerry Pastine exuding the spirit, joy and good cheer with which the yuletide season is usually equated. Of course, the men piloting this hot rod sleigh are the one-and-only "Crime Scene." This unruly gang of roots rock & roll instrumentalists perform with a verve that has not been felt since the days of the swingin ‘60s! Oh yes, Pauly Six, Mad Dog and Lance Romance produce a magical winter wonderland of sound, of which Kerry effortlessly skates across to bring you the sweet sounds of these wondrous modern holidays.

On this offering, the Crime Scene is simply overflowing with the spirit of the season. The band clocks in a whopping eight original tunes that are certain to become an integral part of the traditional holiday music canon. Or, in the case of the Crime Scene, is it more of a holiday music "cannon?" Mindful that Christmas albums normally highlight the religious and the solemn, Kerry Pastine and the Crime Scene chose in this album to instead stress the festive aspect of the holidays. Hence the liberty employed in the band’s selection of songwriting topics. As if to ask: Why not enjoy the spirits, joy and happiness of Christmas all of the year 'round?

So here is "It's a Crime Scene Christmas" -- eight happy, winter songs, delivered in such a way that suggests that yours be a rockin' Christmas and a swingin' New Year!

about

Kerry Pastine and the Crime Scene Denver, Colorado

"Kerry Pastine & the Crime Scene's songs should be in Quentin Tarantino movies. There’s a fierceness in the band’s energetic live shows; the musicians clearly feed off of each other."
- Jon Solomon - Westword Feature Article

"The vintage tones swing and punch – like early ‘60s Wanda Jackson possessing a young Joan Jett as backed by the Stray Cats."
- Eric Shea - Pandora Pick of the Week
