Mint Condition rings in the holidays with full-bodied funk and soul. The five-piece ensemble flips yuletide perennials such as “Santa Claus Go Straight to the Ghetto” and “Lonely Christmas” with fresh arrangements, piping horns, ringing guitar solos and lead singer Stokley Williams’ impassioned performance. The original tracks are just as solid: “Healing Season” begins as a balladic plea for kindness, then builds to an epic finale, while “1st Snowfall” shares a sweet story of finding love for the winter amid warm acoustic guitar and steel drums.
