1991- "It's Christmas"

.....High on my long list of albums overdue for reissue on CD is the soundtrack album to the David Byrne film "TRUE STORIES". About a year ago I posted the details on my general music blog:

.....And here, a year later, it remains out of print. I didn't recognize the name twenty-five years ago but Carl Finch, the only member of Brave Combo to have been in every line-up since the beginning, had a couple of credits on that soundtrack album and Jeffrey Barnes arranged one of David Byrne's songs as well. Finch contributes one of the four originals on Brave Combo's Christmas album [see previous post], a cha cha with lots of minor chords that would not be out of place in a They Might Be Giants set.
