The XPN Local 12 Days of Christmas continues today with a holiday strummer with hometown hero Amos Lee, who recently headlined The Tower Theater. Lee is currently on the road in support of his 2013 offering, Mountains of Sorrow, Rivers of Song, but this tune dates back to 2009, when Amos offered it as an exclusive download to his Facebook fans. It’s a solitary and soulful acoustic guitar song that would sound just right by a warm fireplace, as Lee belts out a simple, powerful message: “Peace starts with me.” Get a download below, and watch Amos perform it at the Buell Theater in Denver in December of 2009,
