Gently used CD was exactly as described. Highly recommend and will order from this vendor in the future. Thanks for the prompt service.

George's style has changed a little over the years, although not as dramatically as some singers of comparative longevity. Nevertheless, I particularly like his eighties music and this, George's first Christmas album, is in the style that was typical of George's music during that decade.
George ultimately decided on five familiar standards and five original songs, which are presented alternately. All the standards have been recorded countless times, but if enjoy George's music, especially his eighties music, you'll love his renditions of White Christmas, Winter wonderland, Away in a manger, Frosty the snowman and Santa Claus is coming to town.
Of the original songs (at least I think they were all original when George recorded them), perhaps my favorites are the title track and the bright, upbeat When it's Christmas time in Texas. However, the song that may be most familiar among the originals may be There's a new kid in town. Not to be confused with a famous Eagles hit with a slightly shorter title, this excellent song has been covered by other singers including Kathy Mattea (on her Christmas album Good news) and Trisha Year wood (on her Christmas album Sweetest gift). Two other fine originals (For Christ's sake it's Christmas, What a merry Christmas this could be) complete an outstanding album that mixes traditional country with a dash of western swing as only George Strait knows how.
This will definitely appeal to fans of traditional country music looking for a Christmas album that mixes originals and familiar songs. Will it appeal to a pop audience? I hope so but I rather doubt it. Still, there are plenty of other Christmas albums out there, including some by country singers, that cater for their needs.

This came brand new which is really really awesome. This is a great record, since I couldn't find it in vinyl this was the perfect option. Sound quality is really good (for a cassette) and plays like a dream.

We originally had this George Strait album on cassette tape but neither of our cars has a cassette player and each year at Christmas my Wife would ask about getting the CD...finally, this year I bought it so she could have it in her car and be an early Christmas present. She was very pleased and both she and our granddaughters enjoyed George's Christmas songs while out shopping and when taking them home from a sleepover.

I remember having this album on tape when I was young. I looked everywhere to find it in stores and failed, but was thrilled to find it here and for so cheap. Great mix of classic christmas songs with a real country sound and originals. I absolutely love this Christmas album and it just isn't Christmas without it!! Christmas time in Texas is also one of my favorite Christmas songs of all time!! Can't beat this CD if you are a country fan at all.

Great Addition to Christmas Music
Reviewed in Canada on November 26, 2012
This is a great CD for Christmas holiday music. It has a nice selection of seasonal and Christian songs.As usual, the wonderful quality of George Strait's voice is so evident in these selections. Add it to your Christms music library - you will not be disappointed!
