Rock N’ Roll Santa — Michael CavaciniMichael Cavacini

I woke up this morning to find out that Michael Des Barres, one of my favorite musicians, just released a new single: “The Key of Love.” While Michael’s previous work included a solid rock album and a fun Christmas song, “The Key of Love” is a beautiful, mid-tempo ballad with heartfelt lyrics. What impresses me most about this song are the vocals; Michael masterfully hits high notes in “The Key of Love,” and he sounds better than ever. The arrangement is also worth noting as the guitar, horn section and backup vocals create a melody you won’t soon forget. It’s a worthy addition to any music lover’s library.

Michael Des Barres, the raspy rocker known for the amazing Carnaby Street, just released a fun, infectious Christmas song: “Rock N’ Roll Santa.” Unlike the countless covers of traditional Christmas songs that will, no doubt, put you to sleep, this is an original tune about Santa losing weight. Yes, you read that right; Santa’s sporting a svelte figure in this song. If you’re looking for a short, sweet, catchy rock song to kick off the holiday season, I suggest you check out “Rock N’ Roll Santa.” And since this is the season of giving, a portion of the proceeds from this song go to support Little Kids Rock, a wonderful foundation dedicated to restoring and revitalizing music education programs in U.S. public schools.
