Christmas is just a few days away, and we have to admit, it’s been a pretty good season for tolerable holiday music. Over the past few weeks we’ve enjoyed seasonally-festive tunes from Katy Perry, Phoebe Bridgers, Hana Kahn, and Eddie Japan, and now Greg Dulli is here to stake him own claim to a familiar holiday classic. The Afghan Whigs frontman today (December 20) has unveiled a video for his stark, scratchy cover of “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas”. The clip was directed by Philip Harder, and you can watch it below. “I saw Meet Me In St. Louis as a child and this song just stayed with me forever,” Dulli says. “It has a spectral quality that I always wanted to exaggerate.” Featured image by Ben Stas for Vanyaland, from The Afghan Whigs’ September 2017 show at The Paradise Rock Club.
