Background
Joe Perry originally wanted to make a
studio with some really talented friends and it all fell together. I was finally able to record some Christmas classics for the fans.”.[3] Perry was able to convince Bruce Witkin, and Drummer Dan Potruch, with whom he had been working on material for his next solo album, to take a side trip into some Yuletide fare with him. "I said, 'Why don't we go in and knock off some Christmas songs. We'll do an EP,'" Perry recalls. "He was all up for it, so we got over there and carved out some time. It's all live in the studio. The tracks are all live. That's a real horn section. Those are real girl singers in there. On a lot of my solo records I played everything, but I wanted this to be a real band, so we recorded it like we would've recorded it on tape."[4]
