Graham Strachan, former lead singer of Robb Roy and current lead singer of National Ghost, just reminded us via e-mail that war is over / if you want it . No, he's not referring to the apathy of American citizens when it comes to demanding accountability from their so-called leaders, he's referring to a cover version of Happy Christmas by John Lennon & Yoko Ono he recorded with Robb Roy & Friends a back in 2002 to benefit childhood cancer research. The CD is no longer available, but you can still hear this rare recording on Graham's website. Chris McCall lends her lovely voice to this track as well as Graham's three daughters. There's other voices mixed in there too; in fact, if you listen very carefully you can hear yours truly warbling his way all the way through. - MitchClick "read more" below for links to the song and the story behind the song.
