Where did these three young blonde-headed brothers get their R&B and soul influences? Refreshingly, these teen and pre-teen sensations aren't a teeny-bop grunge band a la Radish or Silverchair. Check out their version of the Beach Boys' "Little Saint Nick" for a clue to their roots. Singing and playing most of the instruments, Hanson presents an album of classic pop Christmas songs plus three tunes penned by the brothers collectively. "Everybody Knows the Claus" stands out, reprising the band's signature groove from their hit "Mmmbop."
