Despite Jones' penchant for the inventive, she and the band tackle the classics as well.
"8 Days (Of Hanukkah)" is the band's ode to The Festival of Lights – a celebration ignored all-too-often on holiday albums. "Big Bulbs" is saucy in the way you might expect, with sleigh bells and horns providing the musical backbone. The follow-up to the 2014 Grammy-nominated "Give the People What They Want" finally finds a home for Jones' 2009 James Brown-styled declaration, "Ain't No Chimney's in the Projects," and offers a handful of new tracks. In typical unconventional form, Augusta native Jones and her soulful strutting band present "It's a Holiday Soul Party," an 11-track holiday album – their first – that is long on originality and short on schmaltz.
