Singles Club - Holiday Edition: Diamond

I'm beginning to feel a little like Christmas, y'all, so I'm gonna keep this holiday music thing going. Diamond has roots in Chicago, Richmond, and Baltimore, and seeing as I've lived in one of those cities and frequently visit another, I feel it's time to give Diamond a little face time.

The band has joined the ranks of those that have officially covered "Christmas Time Is Here," and I have to say I'm finding a lot to like about their fairly classic, slightly lounge-esque treatment of the song. I'm all sorts of digging that slinky guitar, mistletoe magical vocals, and cool simplicity. Not bad, Diamond. Not bad indeed.
