Dwight Yoakam's work as an interpretive singer has been solid and, as far as Christmas music albums go, this one is informed with Yoakam's great vocal talents and a country band that can get these tunes to swing in any juke joint. The rumba of "Here Comes Santa Claus" is a tad forced, but Yoakam's good humor is in evidence. This album may lack the gravitas of his best work, but it shows that even a cowboy feels like kicking off his existential boots sometimes and getting down with standards from years bygone. --Rob O'Connor

Yoakam Sets The Christmas Tree On Fire December 19, 2008
K. Fontenot (The Bayou State)
Blending his distinctive twang with standards such as "Away In A Manger" and pop Christmas tunes like "Run, Run Rudolph," Dwight Yoakam proves that even sophisticated country artists can make a cool Christmas album.
Yoakam spins the Bakersfield sound, soul, jazz and swing into songs like "Silver Bells," "The Christmas Song" and "I'll Be Home For Christmas." Guitarist supreme Pete Anderson tears up rockabilly numbers like "Santa Claus Is Back In Town." Along with the rest of his band, Yoakam brings on top performers such as Beth Anderson, Ricky Skaggs, the brilliant Eddie Shaver and Marty Rifkin.
Two original tunes are also included, those being the bluesy "Come On Christmas" and the funny, redneck-drenched "Santa Can't Stay."
Personal favorites include "Run, Run Rudolph," "Santa Can't Stay" and Yoakam's eclectic rendition of "Here Comes Santa Claus."
With big horns, accordians, dobros, electric guitars and plenty of twang, Dwight Yoakam's spin on Christmas tunes is simply wonderful. The bottomline is this: a) If you like Yoakam's music, you'll love this album and b) if you're tired of traditional sounding Christmas tunes, this is the album to snag. Highly recommended.
Goodies Under your Tree from Dwight!! December 18, 2008
B. Woodley (Fairfax, VA, USA)
I love this album because Dwight's personality comes through, along with his amazing vocals and diverse musical stylings (rockabilly, country, jazz). This really deserves to be complemented by a Volume 2, but meanwhile I'll play this over and over. I especially enjoy "Away in a Manger," "Silver Bells," "I'll Be Home for Christmas," "The Christmas Song," "Here Comes Santa Claus," "Run Run Rudolph" and "Santa Can't Stay." I consider the latter to be a new modern classic for the holidays. It's a tongue-in-cheek original composition by Dwight who sings it with appropriate gusto. Bottom line, this album is a real quality effort, NOT an obligatory or ho hum affair.

Peter T. Greck (Pittsburgh, PA)
Dwight brings the Christmas spirit to you via this CD. I would have given this 5 stars but the first song is slow and depressing. Who starts off a CD with a slow song? Anyway, the rest of the music is great and creative and it is priced right.
