There seems to be quite a stir as we enter the Christmas season about whether or not the Jonas Brothers should produce an album of Christmas favorites and maybe an original or two. Considering how other popular artists have done with holiday albums in the past, the Jonas Brothers probably should follow suit in more ways than one. The two major reasons are: their origins in church and previous boy bands, such as 98 degrees, have all done Christmas albums.
What would make the album different? The biggest difference I could see is in the sound that they have. The JB have a sound that almost resembles The Rembrants and Rick Springfield. People really get into the home based sound and personal life involvements. That sound combined with many Christmas favorites would make for a great album.
As the holidays come upon us again, an interesting thought popped up. There have not been any new notable Christmas songs written. It seems that the traditionals keep getting redone in new ways, but no new good ones have come to the surface and stayed. With all the new things done and rush jobs initiated, there is probably tons of material that could be tapped to create a couple funny songs that would impress the A&R people.
