What You Need To Know
Originally released in 1957, this fondly remembered Gene Autry Christmas album features "America's Favorite Singing Cowboy" performing 12 classic Christmas songs, including "Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer," "Here Comes Santa Claus (Right Down Santa Claus Lane)," and "Jingle Bells." This album has been unavailable for over 20 years, and due to fan demand and the nostalgic value of the original LP, it is now issued on CD for the first time ever. Gene's spoken introductions interject interesting stories about the songs to make this unique Christmas album a very personal listening experience. Includes songs not on any other Gene Autry Christmas CD. All tracks are digitally re-mastered from the original tapes, and it features the original album art.

I don't even know where to begin...
As a Gene Autry fan, particularly of his Christmas recordings, I was really looking forward to this release. But...what a disappointment! I will look over the dropouts - obviously the source tapes have deteriorated - but what happened to the final three cuts? They are so laden with noise reduction artifacts that they are barely listenable. And, I know the disc is short, but were the 2 second pauses between tracks REALLY necessary? Talk about choppy. No flow at all.

This CD did make me do one thing...go back into my archives and pull out my original Grand Prix vinyl. I think I'll be doing a transfer and retire this CD to the bottom shelf.

Gene Autry's Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer
My parents had this Christmas album when I was little, and I was so happy to find it on CD! It brought back wonderful memories of sitting by the hi-fi with my younger brothers and sister, wondering how many days were left until Christmas and Santa Claus. My three young daughters LOVED singing along to "Here Comes Santa Claus," and "Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer" this year. If you like old-fashioned Christmas music, or have small children, you'll love this CD.
