Lenny Kaye's place in music history is firmly secured as guitarist and founding member of the Patti Smith Group. His seminal anthology of 60's garage-rock, Nuggets, has long been regarded as defining a genre. In his new book Lighting Strikes, he charts the story of Rock and Roll; It's a story he knows well, as he continues to inspire audiences and readers alike. Following his songwriter muse, he's now committed a brand new holiday tune to wax on his favorite format: the 7" vinyl record. He's teamed up with Cedar Sparks, the duo of Tim Carbone (Railroad Earth) and Lou Rogai (Lewis and Clarke) to record and co-produce a trove of new songs, including Kaye's "Santa's Knee". Their own "Gathering Song" makes for the perfect B-side companion, inspired by seasonal depression, the commodification of Christmas, and the classic 1946 film It's A Wonderful Life.
