Listen: The Afghan Whigs' Greg Dulli covers "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas"

As a rule, the only Christmas music I can stand is Vince Guaraldi's 'A Charlie Brown Christmas.' Now though, I can punctuate those exceedingly joyful jazz tunes with my friend Greg Dulli of The Afghan Whigs doing his hauntingly beautiful take on 'Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas.'

“I saw Meet Me In St. Louis as a child and this song just stayed with me forever,” Greg said. “It has a spectral quality that I always wanted to exaggerate.”
