Yesterday you probably missed the greatest Black Friday sale of all, but don’t fret. You can still grab it! Ben Rector released a fantastic Christmas EP to iTunes yesterday (because Black Friday is the official opening to the Christmas season.) The EP, entitled Jingles and Bells, contains 5 beautiful silky-smooth renditions of old Christmas classics and a version of Jingle Bells that sounds like it was recorded in a rowdy bar. Jason Yang of Invisible Element designed the simple and classic art work for the album, and I must say it looks a lot better than my early mock-up for the cover.
But wait! There’s more!!!
