- Christmas Card From a Hooker in Minneapolis (Tom Waits) This song was the most controversial on the album. It's absolutely my favorite, so sad, touching. Some told me they couldn't stand it, would skip over it every time. On this live clip from 1979, the audience doesn't get it.

One of the best Holiday CD's you'll hear. Although a limited release, it fits in nicely with the other past johnnykmusic Holiday CD's, my personal favorite the very first, Johnnny K's Eclectric Christmas. Maybe sometime in the future, there will be a new one. Let's hope so.
Thanks, jg, for the praise of that classic cd. It was the first of the trifecta, with Johnny K's Got the Blues Again This Christmas (2002), and, finally, Johnny K's Gone Eclectic This Christmas (but that doesn't make him a bad person) (2003).
But perhaps your sense of history has become muddled out there in the Great Northwest. Riding any mares?
