Having been a teenager in the 1980s and in a Billy Idol cover band back in high school, I have had more than a passing interest in the punk-turned-pop rocker’s work — at least until that album with the dreadful cover of the Doors’ L.A. Woman. For reasons that I myself do not completely understand, I’m pleased that he’s got a new album coming out: a Christmas album!
Here’s a track listing for the album:
If you want to sample some of his Christmas tunes, go to Billy’s MySpace page. There, you’ll find gems such as the video for his rendition of White Christmas, pictured below:
