If you’re looking for a really good, really twangy Christmas record you can’t go wrong with Dale Watson’s Christmas Time In Texas. Dale’s leaving Austin at the end of the year, if you haven’t heard, and I’m busted up about it. This week is his last Thursday night at Ginny’s.
Anyway, here’s a track from the disc. I won’t be around for about a week, so Happy Holidays y’all.

I’m with you on this one Jim. Had no idea Dale had done an xmas album, but stumbled across it and love it. Sure there’s a few weak tracks (The Xmas Song, Silver Bells) —what Xmas album doesn’t have weak tracks? But when it’s good (Honky Tonk Xmas, Hot Texas Xmas Day), it’s some of the best non-carols/traditional Xmas songs twang out there.
