The pride of Bakersfield has always done things his own way, which helps explain why you won't find too many shopworn carols on this swinging holiday set. Instead, Buck and the boys do their best to deliver the spirit of a good old-fashioned dust-bowl Christmas, complete with Western gear ("Santa's Gonna Come in a Stage Coach") and working-class sentiment ("Santa Looked a Lot like Daddy (Daddy Looked a Lot like Him)"). There's a good deal of melancholy running through songs like "Blue Christmas Tree" and "Christmas Ain't Christmas"--after a few listens, you get the idea that Buck's holiday "dinner" will be a few beers drunk alone at the honky-tonk down the road. It might not be the most cheerful album of the season, but Christmas with Buck Owens may just be the one most likely to stay lodged in your heart. --David Sprague --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Christmas Blast From The Past, December 10, 2004

My Mom recently bought me, my sister, and herself a copy of this CD. (Sorry to say she paid ALOT more through a mail order catalog)

My favorite Christmas memories are of listening to Buck Owens while my family put the Christmas Tree!

I think the reason this album stands the test of time is because nearly every song was original. Which is very rare in a Christmas album!

I love EVERY song on this album, but if I had to pick a favorite it would be a toss up between "Santa's Gonna Come In A Stagecoach" and "Santa Looked A Lot Like Daddy"

THANK YOU Buck Owens for all the wonderful memories!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best, December 21, 2000

By 

Brian Bell (Birmingham, Alabama) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Christmas With Buck Owens (Audio CD)

Wow.......this has to be one of the best xmas album...cd whatever. I grew up to my dad playing this ALOT, what memories it brings to me of him, as I ordered the cassette for him, which i know he will love. Buck sings so well on this album, as its good country music. Christmas aint christmas, has to be one of my ALL time favorite songs....EVER, I can imagine my dad over-seas, spending time away from my mom while in the service, sit down and listen to the words, they are GREAT. Just don't drink to much and listen to it, as tears will roll down your face, as they do mine all the time.......enjoy this.

5.0 out of 5 stars First of two classic Christmas albums, November 2, 2003

This review is from: Christmas With Buck Owens (Audio CD)

Buck recorded two Christmas albums back in the sixties. While I agree with most people that this is the better of the two, I don't think there's much to choose between them.

This begins with the Christmas song most identified with Buck, Santa looked a lot like Daddy. Travis Tritt is one of several singers to have covered this joyful gem. Most of the other songs here are originals but everybody will recognize Jingle bells, done here as an instrumental.

There are several sad songs here, especially Christmas ain't Christmas and Blue Christmas tree, but plenty of Christmas cheer too, including the amusing Santa's gonna come in a stagecoach and the love song All I want for Christmas dear is you.

This album will provide plenty of entertainment for traditional country fans.
