Loaded with contributions from dozens of classic countryʼs top stars—George Jones & Tammy Wynette, Ernest Tubb, Hank Thompson, Loretta Lynn—Daddyʼs Drinking Up Our Christmas offers a kaleidoscopic palette of mood and atmosphere, with widely varying approaches ranging from jovial frolic to honky-tonk rafter-raising, to bleak depression and dark winter angst. This collection largely comprises original country-drenched holiday songs. And whether itʼs the offbeat charm of Commander Codyʼs title tune or the brilliant sorrowful impact of Jerry Lee Lewisʼ rarely heard “I Can't Have a Merry Christmas, Mary (Without You)”, to the heartwarming 18 wheeler holiday cheer of Red Simpsonʼs “Truckinʼ Trees for Christmas,” itʼs a refreshing musical sleigh ride through rarely visited territory. With novelty nuggets, cry-in-your-beer weepers, love songs and across the board first rate performances from country music’s finest. This is a Yuletide must-have.
