Buck Owens - Christmas With Buck Owens & His Buckaroos (1967)

This 1999 reissue of Owens' 1967 Christmas album is a straight-up affair; with no hidden bonus tracks, just the straight 12 tracks from two 1965 sessions (odd they waited two years to put this stuff out), this is prime Buck Owens and His Buckaroos in the holiday mode. Featured here are "Santa Looked a Lot Like Daddy," "Santa's Gonna Come in a Stagecoach," and enough Yule-time weepers to make you realize that the holidays have a mighty dark side, too. :~ Cub Koda

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

Product Description

Sundazed reissue of this classic 1967 holiday album by Buck and his Buckaroos. 12 songs that will brighten up your yuletide cheer including 'Santa Looked a Lot Like Daddy' and 'Jingle Bells '. 1999 release.

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

This begins with the Christmas song most identified with Buck, Santa looked a lot like Daddy. Travis Tritt is one of several singers to have covered this joyful gem. Most of the other songs here are originals but everybody will recognize Jingle bells, done here as an instrumental.

There are several sad songs here, especially Christmas ain't Christmas and Blue Christmas tree, but plenty of Christmas cheer too, including the amusing Santa's gonna come in a stagecoach and the love song All I want for Christmas dear is you.

This album will provide plenty of entertainment for traditional country fans. :~ Amazon Customer Comment
