Honky Tonk Christmas

From the Artist
I really enjoyed making "Is It You." I love being in the studio and watching the ideas start to flow on a new song. Seeing how another musician may hear what I'm feeling. I wrote or co-wrote almost all the songs on the CD and I hope they all can touch someone, some way.

Product Description:
If your looking for a CD which covers all types of Country Music then, "Is It You" Is for You. Terry Blends a mixture of Traditional, Modern and Acoustic Country to make this CD come alive. It's a must add to my collection CD.

How is a honky-tonk Christmas different than a regular Christmas? Well, the predominant color is blue, rather than the more traditional red and green, and the stockings aren't filled exactly the way they were when you were a little one. But when Alan Jackson sings the songs of a honky-tonk holiday, the spirit is as infectious as can be, whether he's exploring the secular side of the holiday (as on a moving rendition of Merle Haggard's "If We Make it Through December") or delving into the spiritual (as on his duet with Alison Krauss, "The Angels Cried"). The Chipmunks--Alan's special guests on the silly "Santa's Gonna Come in a Pickup Truck"--are a little out of place, but it's a little too Grinch-like to dwell on that one flaw. --David Sprague

Honky Tonk Christmas.......2004-11-22

It's a fun Christmas CD. If you're looking for something light this is the CD because it's not the traditional Christmas music. I love the traditional songs but this is a fun to listen to at a party.

A great holiday album.......2007-03-23

This album is such great fun. I am an Alan Jackson fan and had to add this one to my collection. This is my second purchase of this album as my first simply vanished and I found Christmas without it just wasn't the same.There are some very jolly up beat tracks to get you in the Christmas spirit.I love it! Recommended

i heard a specific song on the t.v. and couldn't find it in any store around here. it is a wonderful song , very inspiring. i couldn't be more pleased with the service you gave me. norman w.haley,sr.

A fine hick music holiday album!.......2003-10-11

Hey, if only **all** holiday albums cound be this much fun! Sure, there are several schmaltzy tracks, but that just goes with the territory... Good natured romps like "I Only Want You For Christmas" and "Honky Tonk Christmas" more than make up for it... And Jackson's voice is at its peak here, smooth crooning with a big-ole smile that comes out in every note. Plus a goofy song sung with the Chipmunks and a cover of Merle Haggard's "If We Make It Through December..." What more couldja want? Recommended!

Buck Owens almost single-handedly created the fabled Bakersfield sound that made such singers as Merle Haggard and Dwight Yoakam famous. And it's pure Bakersfield Buck through most of this record, with its borderline maudlin tunes about absent daddies, bulging families with a christmas shopping list that threatens to put them in the poor house, and moralistic songs such as "It's Not What You Give." Ordinarily these sentiments would drive many a sane and good-hearted person from the room. But in the hands of Owens and his Buckaroos, whether they're doing "A Very Merry Christmas" or the record's timeless highlight, "Merry Christmas from Our House to Yours," it's practically required listening, and with ample charm and country-rock satisfaction. --Martin Keller

Album Description

Sundazed reissue of this classic 1968 holiday album by Buck and his Buckaroos. 12 songs that will brighten up your yuletide cheer including 'Christmas Time Is Near' and 'Christmas Shopping'. 1999 release.

Customer Reviews:

Christmas ain't Christmas without Buck Owens ;-).......2004-12-11

I just ordered 3 copies of this album! One for me, one for my sister, and one for my parents! When I was a kid we had the Buck Owens "A Merry Hee Haw Christmas" Double Album. It had 10 songs from this "Christmas Shopping" album and 10 songs from the "Christmas With Buck Owens" album.

All I can say is you can't have one without the other. It's not Christmas in our house until we listen to Buck Owens.

This album is the best of the two in my opinion, although listening to only one is like eating a P.B. & J. without the jelly. It may still be good, but it won't be as sweet!! ;-)

Buck Owens Christmas albums stand the test of time like no other Christmas albums I've ever had.

There are songs on here that I loved as a kid ("Christmas Shopping" & "One of Everything You Got") and still love as an adult. You don't outgrow this album!

excellent.......2003-12-31

I'm not a big country music fan but this old time music proves to be a very up beat CD to bring Happy music ( with a couple exceptions) that we all can relate too. These songs that Buck sings, bring old fashion values that most Americans where brought up with.

Gotta have it........2003-12-22

I grew up hearing these songs at Christmas time. Warm memories. Christmas would not be the same without hearing Buck! My all time favorite Christmas songs. During the 70's, my parents would play both Buck Owens Christmas albums all day for weeks before Christmas.

Second of two classic Christmas albums.......2003-11-03

Buck recorded two Christmas albums back in the sixties. While I agree with most people that the first, Christmas with Buck Owens, is the better of the two, I don't think there's much to choose between them.

The set opens with the title track, a fun song about all the gifts that Buck has bought. This is followed by more Christmas cheer, with Christmas time is near and Jolly Christmas polka.

Then Buck completely changes the mood with All I want for Christmas is my Daddy. The song avoids explaining why Daddy is missing but the sadness of the little boy that Buck sings about is very clear.

After that song, the Christmas cheer returns for the remainder of the set, with Merry Christmas from our house to yours, Good old-fashioned country Christmas and many other interesting original songs.

For country music fans who want to get away from all the obvious songs, this set is ideal. But if you haven't got Buck's other Christmas album, buy that too.

Wonderful Classic Country Christmas Album.......2002-06-03

Buck Owens gives his all for a fantastic collection of unique Christmas songs.

If you are looking for songs far from the mainstream Christmas staples, this is the album for you. For anyone who ever was a child or has a child, you'll be able to identify with "One Of Everything You Got", a humorous song about children and there requests for gifts. And "All I Want For Christmas Is My Daddy", will surely tug at your heart strings.

Tracks:

Santa Looked A Lot Like Daddy
Blue Christmas Lights
Christmas Ain't Christmas
Jingle Bells
All I Want For Christmas Dear Is You
Santa's Gonna Come In A Stagecoach
Christmas Time's A Coming
Blue Christmas Tree
Here Comes Santa Claus Agian

Amazon.com

The pride of Bakersfield has always done things his own way, which helps explain why you won't find too many shopworn carols on this swinging holiday set. Instead, Buck and the boys do their best to deliver the spirit of a good old-fashioned dust-bowl Christmas, complete with Western gear ("Santa's Gonna Come in a Stage Coach") and working-class sentiment ("Santa Looked a Lot like Daddy (Daddy Looked a Lot like Him)"). There's a good deal of melancholy running through songs like "Blue Christmas Tree" and "Christmas Ain't Christmas"--after a few listens, you get the idea that Buck's holiday "dinner" will be a few beers drunk alone at the honky-tonk down the road. It might not be the most cheerful album of the season, but Christmas with Buck Owens may just be the one most likely to stay lodged in your heart. --David Sprague

Brings back memories.......2007-01-19

This item was purchased as a gift but I know the person is extremely happy with this selection. She is 84 years old and has been looking for this item for a few years. She had even met Buck Owens when she was younger.

Good 'ole Country Christmas .......2007-01-13

My parents used to listen to this when I was a kid. It brings back memories of old Country Christmas music.

Great Classic Buck Owens.......2006-11-17

I love this CD! The twangy guitars and out front pedal steel work by Tom Brumley are spine chilling (for me anyway). Some people don't care for this sort of music though, so I've heard. "Santa Looked Alot Like Daddy" is a fun & clever song worth the whole CD (more recently recorded by Garth Brooks, but this original version is better in my opinion). If you like Buck Owens music, you'll love this one.

Essential Christmas Album.......2006-10-19

This is my all time favorite Christmas album...Alabama Christmas, and Jim Reeves Christmas album are up there too...
Buck's style is perfect for Christmas time, the original song writing is great. I actually am not a very big Buck Owens music fan outside of this Christmas album.
Bottom line.....the guitar players are AWESOME!!
My favorite song is Jingle Bells, but they are all great songs and hold many great memories from my childhood.
Must Buy!!!!!

Christmas Blast From The Past.......2004-12-11

My Mom recently bought me, my sister, and herself a copy of this CD. (Sorry to say she paid ALOT more through a mail order catalog)

My favorite Christmas memories are of listening to Buck Owens while my family put the Christmas Tree!

I think the reason this album stands the test of time is because nearly every song was original. Which is very rare in a Christmas album!

I love EVERY song on this album, but if I had to pick a favorite it would be a toss up between "Santa's Gonna Come In A Stagecoach" and "Santa Looked A Lot Like Daddy"

THANK YOU Buck Owens for all the wonderful memories!

Hank Thompson was a honky tonk and Western swing singer from Texas and his 1964 Sundazed reissue will be a true gift to lovers of both genres. Thompson wraps most of his tunes in pedal steel, trimmed by the fiddles and piano of the Brazos Valley Boys, but it's his big, no-frills personal vocal style and handful of originals that make It's Christmas Time memorable and collectible. For this effort, Thompson penned "I'd Like To Have An Elephant For Christmas" (a perfect novelty flipside for "I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas") and the even more charming "Mr. And Mrs. Snowman." For the more adult minded, there's his "Gonna Wrap My Heart In Ribbons" and a lovable oddity titled "Its Christmas Every Day In Alaska." Thompson's style has long gone out of favor in Nashville and LA, but for those with an ear for cowboy sincerity and a hankering for country and western music before it became Country, here's a little overlooked gem ready to be gift-wrapped. --Martin Keller

Album Description

Hank Thompson and the Brazos Valley Boys bring us 13 down-home Christmas songs from 1964 produced by Ken Nelson (Buck Owens, Merle Haggard etc.). Sundazed. 2003.

Customer Reviews:

Christmas swings, Texas style!.......2007-01-13

If you like Texas swing, you'll like this one. I would have preferred a few more traditional songs, though. The Brazos Valley Boys are a fantastic band and really prove it on this one.

What a joy to find this great album on a CD!.......2003-11-21

Hank Thompson is one of country music's all time greats and I can't tell you how delighted I was to see this reissue of this fantastic 1964 Christmas album. I highly recommend this album to not only Hank Thompson fans, but it should be in everybody Christmas collection in my opinion. You will love Hank's beautiful and smoothe voice and my favorite song from this album is Mr and Mrs. Snowman. You will love the sound of the Brazos Valley Boys. My darling Nafisah Anif will always be my Christmas angel.

HO HO HO!! Gather round: it's a hillbilly holiday gem!.......2003-10-27

A fine, fun holiday record, western swing with a honkytonk beat, with Thompson's jovial touch added to standards such as "White Christmas," "Silver Bells," "Rudolph," and "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town," as well as loopy Thompson originals like "I'd Like To Have An Elephant For Christmas" and "It's Christmas Every Day In Alaska." Thompson and longtime producer Ken Nelson bend the songs to their will, moulding each one to match Thompson's distinctive, instantly recognizable, bouncy hillbilly swing style. Best of all, is the gusto with which Thompson tackles each tune -- his delivery is vibrant and heartfelt; it may be just another goofy, cornball Christmas record, but it's lively and enjoyable, a cut or two above similar efforts by other artists. Plus, guitar whiz Joe Maphis provides a sparkling counterpoint to the band's infectious beat. Hey, even a curmudeonly country Scrooge like myself can get into this one!

They Changed The Lineup.......2007-05-06

I have a cassete of this copyrighted 1990 that has the original lineup of artists (including Jim Nabors, Mitch Miller, etc). It was released by CBS Special Products: catalog number BT 14309.

Not as good as the original 1977 Release of this album.......2003-11-29

This album was originally released on LP & Cassette (& possibly 8 Track Tape) in 1977, with a different cover. When Sony re-issued it, they dumped some of the artists such as Jim Nabors, Mitch Miller & The Gang, and Anita Bryant, and replaced their songs with the same songs by different artists. I give the original 1977 version 5 stars out of a possible 5, but this newer version gets only 1 star, and it doesn't even deserve that! Stick to the original, if you can find it!

Eddie G. ("no relation to Kenny," as his liner notes emphasize) is a Hollywood comedy writer who gained some notoriety for his annual made-for-friends Christmas tapes. In 1990, Columbia released one of his tapes on CD, and it remains among the finest Christmas compilations on the market. Highlights include such delights as Detroit Junior's rockin' "Christmas Day," the Skeletons' innovative blend of "Do You Hear What I Hear" with the Kinks' "You Really Got Me" (taking up where the Ventures left off on their Christmas LP), and terrific contributions from Foghat (yes, Foghat!), Louis Prima, and George Jones & Tammy Wynette, who are oh-so-fine on "Mr. & Mrs. Santa Claus." Devotees still long for volume two. --Bill Holdship

Customer Reviews:

Now available on CD........2005-12-17

On this CD, Christmas music collector Eddie Gorodetsky compiles some of his favorite rare Christmas records. There are a lot of great songs here, plus unlisted Christmas radio spots before some of the songs. Also, there are fake "outtakes" from a Three Stooges Christmas recording session, where they attempt to record "The 12 Days of Christmas" (hilarious!). But the main reason to get this CD is for the rare songs, most of which are great. Styles represented here include blues, novelty, lounge, swing, R&B, beatnik, rock, soul, cajun, country and others. Recommended to fans of Christmas music.

Have Yourself a Quirky Little Christmas.......2004-11-17

I picked up this CD on a whim way back when. To my delight, it has become a favorite. It's quirky and strange, with just enough "Christmasy" material to make it something that I want to listen to over and over. I had never heard several of the songs before, but now I've got a batch of new favorites! Even my partner, who isn't particularly a Christmas kind of guy, enjoys this CD and looks forward to hearing it every year. Hooray for something different and fun!

This is how Christmas should sound!.......2003-11-15

Easily the best Christmas mix cd ever. There's something wonderful here for everyone - from Detroit Junior's funky "Christmas Day" to George Jones and Tammy Wynette's "Mr and Mrs Santa Claus" - especially if you play it sequentially. There's a subplot with the Three Stooges (played poifectly by the great Billy West) trying to record a Christmas carol only to be foiled by an incompetent engineer. Simply and brilliantly inspired! With genres of blues, rock, country, reggae, cajun, easy listening, cool and strange, and even Hawaiian represented, this cd sets the standard for any Christmas mix. Plus, where else can you find the Merry Old Philospher spouting his classic "is that what's bothering you" bit with a yuletide spin? Listening to this cd has become a Christmas tradition in my house, along with watching the Honeymooner's Christmas show, trimming the tree, drinking eggnog and spending way too much money. Get this cd, you'll love it forever!

Off-kilter and fun!.......2002-12-03

As a collector of unusual music, this one ranks as one of the best collages of Christmas music. From beatnik bop to zydeco, blues and flat out comedy, Christmas Party with Eddie G. has some excellent nuggets. If you like raising a few eyebrows, this one will do it. Find it!

Best Ever Offbeat Christmas Compilation!.......2001-12-10

In the ten years I've owned this CD I've never found one to touch it. If the only unique track on it was "Do You Hear What I Hear/You Really Got Me" it would be worth buying -- but it doesn't stop there. Even the goofy little interpolations (the Old Philosopher and various old radio commercials) are tremendous. Get it and don't ever lend it to anyone (I almost lost mine)!

Relaxing but generally upbeat.......2003-11-12

Merle's classic song, If we make it through December, tells the story of a father wondering how Christmas is going to be paid for. Daddy won't be home again for Christmas is an even sadder song - the title says it all. But these two songs are the only downbeat moments on an otherwise upbeat album.

Grandma's homemade Christmas card is a very touching story about a card that is not thrown out after the festivities are over. Santa Claus and popcorn is pure fun. Bobby wants a puppy dog for Christmas is about a lonely boy who wants company. Personally, I think Christmas is exactly the wrong time to introduce a puppy into a family - however, the song says that Bobby will get an electric train instead so I cannot complain about the song on those grounds. The remaining songs are Christmas standards delivered in the manner expected of Merle - excellent.

Dave Dudley, the King of Truck Driving Tunes, brings his rough-hewn, must-be-movin'-on approach to this set of Christmas songs. Christmas Truck Stop has the same feel that made “Six Days on the Road” a classic. The project sports a mix of traditional and original music that includes the song “Six Tons of Toys.”

This is the original version of the tune that was released in 1999 by country music's Paul Brandt. All in all, Christmas Truck Stop brings together the familiar themes of country music with those of an American Christmas and then slams the hammer down. A high octane, diesel-driven must-have for the long-hauler in all of us.

Customer Reviews:

ALL DAVE DUDLEY MATERIALS.......2005-01-15

I HAVE NEARLY A FULL DISCOGRAPHY ON DAVE DUDLEY FROM WAY BACK AND CAN SAY THAT I WOULD RECOMMEND ANY AND ALL MATERIALS BY HIM TO ANYONE WHO ENJOYS GOOD COUNTRY MUSIC AND COUNTRY CHRISTMAS MUSIC. HE IS A MAN WITH A VOCAL TALENT OF PAST AND PRESENT COUNTRY MUSIC.

HIS MATERIAL IS MORE LIKE A 10 AND IF YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY DAVE DUDLEY MATERIALS IN YOUR COLLECTION, GET SOME 'SOON', YOU "HAVE MISSED SOMETHING GREAT".
