An overlooked (Christmas) cover tune CXXXI

Usually, when I think of "The First Noel (or Nowell)," I imagine a choir singing it reverentially at a conventional tempo.  Carolbeth True's combo, Two Times True, however, shows how well the carol works as a faster instrumental with a calypso flavor. 

Who says a piano-led rhythm section can't proclaim joyous news?
