Mick J. Clark Brings Retro Revelry on “It’s Christmas Party Time”_ Mick J. Clark starts things off with the gloriously rambunctious ‘It’s Christmas Party Time’, a vintage vibed holiday romp that takes you back to a festive rock and roll bash of yesteryear. Clark immediately channels the spirit of classic 50s/60s yuletide gems, with an irresistibly upbeat rhythm section featuring driving beats, twangy guitar licks and a walking bassline straight out of a timeless sock hop.
Mick’s crooning vocals glide over the top effortlessly, like an old school crooner holding court in the midst of the holiday debauchery. The transportive, dimly lit party atmosphere is only enhanced by jingling bells and lively backing vocals cheering in the background, but what sets this above and beyond a lovingly crafted throwback is Clark’s ability to package the nostalgic sound with his own distinctive modern charm and winking self awareness. The titular refrain is an immediate call to holiday celebration, a dare to not get swept up in the raucous, ugly sweater clad festivities. You can almost picture Clark front and center on the makeshift stage, microphone in hand, as revelers down spiked eggnog and kick up their heels on the dancefloor.
But there’s also a warmth and sincerity that’s impossible to miss beneath all the rambunctious merrymaking. A deft tightrope walk that allows the unrestrained retro party to rage on while the heartfelt holiday spirit seeps through around the edges, Mick J. Clark begins his holiday music onslaught in wildly entertaining fashion with “It’s Christmas Party Time.” Tapping into the timeless appeal of classic rock and roll, while sprinkling in his own distinctive charm and perspective, he’s created the ultimate Christmas party jam for anyone looking for an unassumingly nostalgic, but refreshingly fun dose of festive escapism. It’s a rousing riot, a perfect summation of the season’s raucous revelry, simply put.
