Title: RUDOLPH THE RED NOSED REINDEER & OTHER CHRISTMAS C
Street Release Date: 09/16/2003
Genre: XMAS VOCALThe late Gene Autry (a.k.a. the "Singing Cowboy" and the former owner of the Anaheim Angels) co-wrote the popular standard "Here Comes Santa Claus" in 1947. Over the next six years he seemed to keep reinventing it, if this 18-song collection of Autry’s recorded Christmas music is any indication. There's "Santa, Santa, Santa," "He's A Chubby Little Fellow," and "I Wish My Mom Would Marry Santa Claus"--all variations on a theme (but what Christmas music isn't?). Still, for lovers of cowboy music and particularly Autry's amicable straight-forward vocal style, this is a respectable, unvarnished collection that also includes a duet with Rosemary Clooney ("The Night Before Christmas Song"), a number of tunes penned by Johnny Marks (including "Rudolph…"), and a couple of notable "Frosty the Snowman" themes. There’s also a little ditty called "Sleigh Bells," co-inked by the Singing Cowboy six years after his success with "Here Comes Santa Claus," as proof that lightning does strike twice. --Martin Keller Read more
