The album features Johnny Depp playing rhythm guitar on all tracks, and includes four cover songs, which Perry himself prefers to call Holiday songs.

[1] This album was released on iTunes and as a regular CD format,[2] Joe Perry originally wanted to make a Christmas album with Aerosmith, his band, but he was unable to convince them.

“I have wanted to do a Christmas CD with Aerosmith for years, but it seems we never have the time to record one,” Perry says in a press release announcing the album.

“When my ‘Rocks’ book tour ended, the timing was right — we were in L.A. with access to a studio with some really talented friends and it all fell together.

[3] Perry was able to convince Bruce Witkin, and Drummer Dan Potruch, with whom he had been working on material for his next solo album, to take a side trip into some Yuletide fare with him.
