12/18/2007 Stephen L. Betts Whether they were songs I missed, or just didn’t get around to the first time, I’m excited to share more country (and perhaps not so country) Christmas favorites submitted by CountryHound readers. Keep ‘em coming, there’s still plenty of listening time left before the big day! (And no, just because she mentions Christmas lights in the lyrics, Gretchen Wilson's "Redneck Woman" doesn't count as a Christmas song!) “Honky Tonk Christmas,” Dale Watson (Christmas Time in Texas, 2001) “Oh! Holy Night,” Jason and the Scorchers (To: Kate: A Benefit for Kate’s Sake, 2005) “Making Angels in the Sand,” 5 Chinese Brothers (A Window Shopper’s Christmas, 1997) “Penguin, James Penguin,” Brad Paisley (A Brad Paisley Christmas, 2006) “Please Daddy, Don’t Get Drunk,” Kelly Willis and Bruce Robison (Happy Holidays, 2006) “The Man with the Bag,” Lee Ann Womack (The Season for Romance, 2002) “Blue Christmas,” Ernest Tubb (Holiday Collection) “Deck the Halls,” SHeDAISY (Brand New Year, 2000) “I Believe in Santa Claus,” Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton (Once Upon a Christmas, 1984) “Tennessee Christmas,” Amy Grant (A Christmas Album, 1983) Check out my original list of personal favorites and be sure to keep sending your suggestions to me at stevebetts@countryhound.com.
