Stream: The Decemberists: "Please Daddy (Don't Get Drunk This Christmas)"

The Decemberists have always had a bit of a rootsy vibe to their sound, and they did play a bluegrass festival this summer, but on this cover of the country classic "Please Daddy (Don't Get Drunk This Christmas)", Colin Meloy and co. go full-on honky tonk. Over weepy mandolin and accordion, Meloy sings about, well, you know...watching Daddy get drunk on Christmas and making momma cry.

"Please Daddy (Don't Get Drunk This Christmas)" is from the previously reported Decemberists EP on the Sony Connect music service. It also features live versions of The Crane Wife tracks "O! Valencia", "The Perfect Crime #2", and "The Crane Wife 1 & 2". Buy the whole thing, for only four dollars, HERE.
