Randy Owen handles most of the lead vocals, with Teddy Gentry and Jeff Cook each stepping forward for a song, while a crack team of session players fills out the sound with warm strings and glowing keyboards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChristmas in Dixie, first released in 1982, became one of the group's most enduring holiday songs and closes the album on a sentimental Southern note. Their version of Tennessee Christmas, written by Amy Grant and Gary Chapman, is pure fireside comfort, while Thistlehair the Christmas Bear spins a sweet seasonal tale for the youngest listeners. Santa Claus (I Still Believe in You) opens the record with the kind of earnest harmonies that made them stars.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor families who grew up with this one, it is as much a part of December as the decorations and the carols on the radio.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor everyone else, it is a cosy, unashamedly sentimental slice of 1980s country Christmas, best enjoyed with something warm in hand.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57351089520945,"sku":"194397640717","price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Alabama-Alabama_Christmas_Canada_Import.jpg?v=1793977233","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/alabama-alabama-christmas-canada-import","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
