Last month, rocker James Durbin released a high-energy cover of Elvis Presley’s “Santa Claus Is Back in Town.”
Now, Durbin has issued a lyric video for the holiday-themed tune.
"One day while we were writing and recording the new record in Nashville, and we sat down with our producer James Michael and started jamming on this song,” explained Durbin. “We found this killer, Van Halen-esque punk hybrid sound, and decided to record.”
"Except for the background vocals, it's all one take, hence my cough and [drummer] Jeff Fabb's opening line, 'One take, come on,'” adds James. “We just hope everyone has as much fun with the song as we did, and has a very Merry Christmas."
Durbin's sophomore album is due out on Wind-Up Records in May 2013.
