Good luck getting a white Christmas in San Antonio, after all. Austin-based honky-tonker Dale Watson (recording at Sun Studios in the dog days of summer, no less) delivers a more regionally appropriate set of holiday songs on Christmas Time in Texas, 12 songs that range from heartfelt seasonal tunes like the title track and a sweet duet with Joy Lynn White on \"Christmas Love\" to more tongue-in-cheek romps like the trucker goof \"Santa and My Semi\" and the chile-head Western swing anthem \"Hot Texas Christmas Day.\" A pair of classics, \"The Christmas Song\" and a gorgeous pedal steel-led version of \"Silver Bells,\" round out the catalog. Overall, Christmas Time in Texas is enjoyable enough to overcome the faint sense of cheesiness that usually accompanies Christmas albums. ~ Stewart Mason","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50926770127135,"sku":"819376061023","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/ed13a7278a0c465eca604f3ca4f4f219.jpg?v=1777820105","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/christmas-in-texas","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
