Review by imdad kp

Barnyard Christmas Socko The Smallest Snowball is an album that features Spike Jones And The City Slickers along with The Bell Sisters. The album is a fun and festive collection of Christmas songs that will have you tapping your feet and singing along in no time.

The album kicks off with the title track "Barnyard Christmas Socko The Smallest Snowball," which tells the story of a snowball that grows and grows until it engulfs a barnyard. It's a fun and silly song that sets the tone for the rest of the album.

Other standout tracks include "All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth," "Jingle Bells," and "Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer." Each song is given the Spike Jones treatment, with plenty of sound effects, silly voices, and unexpected musical twists and turns.

The Bell Sisters also make several appearances on the album, lending their sweet and charming voices to songs like "Winter Wonderland" and "Silver Bells." Their harmonies are a perfect complement to Jones' zany arrangements.

About Spike Jones And The City Slickers Featuring The Bell Sisters

Orchestra / band, active from the early 1940s to the mid 1950s, which specialized in performing satirical arrangements of popular songs. Ballads and classical works receiving the Jones treatment would be punctuated with gunshots, whistles, cowbells, and outlandish vocals. The group came to be due to drummer Spike Jones growing bored with playing the same music each night he performed with The Victor Young Orchestra; First to be recruited was Delmar Porter, who sang with -- a vocal and ocarina quartet Jones had backed on Decca Records -- was Jones' partner in musical mayhem from the outset. Porter led a six-piece group called the Feather Merchants, which was managed by Jones before it gradually evolved into the City Slickers. They soon found other like-minded musicians and together they began playing parodies of standard songs for their own entertainment. The musicians wanted their wives to share in their enjoyment, so they recorded their weekly performances. One of the recordings somehow made its way into the hands of an RCA Victor executive, who offered the musicians a recording contract. The first record made by the City Slickers was Der Fuehrer's Face. Because of the success of the record, Jones turned from being the group's drummer to being its bandleader. He initially thought the popularity he and the City Slickers enjoyed as a result of the record would fade. Audiences kept wanting to hear more from Jones and his band, so he began working at more comic arrangements for the group. The band released their last album in 1956, calling it a day soon afterward due to Jones wishing to perform "more serious" music.
