A Christmas Gift For You From Randall & Garrett is an EP that my brother and I recorded during last Christmas season in order to give out as Christmas gifts to our family. We handed them out and received a glowing response from our grandmother (who spins the disc whenever we visit now). The EP consists half of ambient tracks and half of cover songs (mostly '50s and '60s ones), the latter of which feature mostly standard instrument arrangements of guitars, bass, drums, and keyboards as well as vocal duties evenly tackled by my brother and I. Although it was titled for and produced during the Christmas season, there is not a hint of any holiday spirit or reference in any of the tracks, it was intended to be a Christmas time gift and not a Christmas music album. I should have made this album available during the holidays but it seems I forgot or it was forgotten, I'm not too sure. I am basically making available now to anticipate the impending completion of our current album project, which will be an LP entirely of various covers (again most of them will be from between the '50s to the '70s. Although I am proud of this effort, the new LP will be an improvement with more songs and our interpretations of a myriad of older/classic songs with radical invention and departure.
