about

The Shut-Ins' long-awaited Christmas CD, recorded live at San Francisco's Bazaar Cafe. A Very Shut-Ins Christmas is bursting with the tight harmonies, snappy rhythms and quirky wit for which the purveyors of the patent-applied for "hulabilly sound" are well known. Whether it's the Bo Diddly beat of "Little Drummer Boy," the holiday poignancy of "I'd Rather Go to Prison," the examination of gift re-distribution in "Lasso Santa Claus," or the simple island greeting of "Mele Kalikimaka," the Shut-Ins' holiday collection is sure to make you look at Christmas in a whole new light - "Silent Night" contains perhaps the most sacrilegious solo section yet recorded by any man or beast.

Some people think the Shut-Ins are going to Hell for making this record, some people think it's funny, some people think both things....

about

Shut-Ins San Francisco, California

Those who call themselves the Shut-Ins are a (mostly) acoustic combo with the patent-applied-for "Hulabilly" sound. The Shut- Ins combine the pleasing tones of acoustic guitar, ukulele, steel guitar, stand-up bass and tasteful drums, along with close harmonies a la Louvin Brothers for a lively amalgam of hillbilly, hula, folk and country. ... more
