Christmas 45's - Christmas In Dixie - Alabama

This is one of my favorite Christmas song! I have many favorites, but this one talks about the place I'm from, so it means a lot to me. I hope you all enjoy it too. Tons more Christmas songs to come... :-)
"Christmas in Dixie" is a Christmas song made famous by the country music band Alabama. Originally released in 1982, the song was included on Alabama's 1985 Christmas album (titled Alabama Christmas), and has since been included on many Christmas compilations in both the country and all-genre fields.

The song is a celebration of Christmas in the southern United States.

The single release was part of a two-sided holiday release issued by RCA Records. The flip side was "Christmas Is Just a Song For Us This Year" by Louise Mandrell and R.C. Bannon

"Christmas in Dixie" re-entered the country charts twice from unsolicited holiday airplay: in 1999, it re-entered at #40, and re-entered a second time at #37 in 2000.

The song was covered by Kenny Chesney on his 2003 album All I Want for Christmas Is a Real Good Tan and featured Alabama's lead singer Randy Owen joining him on the track.

That was not the 45 playing. Note the band wishing Christmas greetings at the end. That was not on the 45. But it is still my favorite Christmas song.

@usafreedom100 That is the 45 playing. This is a promo copy, which is not exactly the same as the album version or the regular 45. All I did was record it direct with this USB turntable.

This has been my favorite Christmas song for many, many years. I love how you recorded the 45 playing. Excellent!

[Ne14Gr8Music]

Thank you! I hope you enjoy the other Christmas music I have posted too. Merry Christmas!

@amalgamnation - That wasn't the 45 playing. Note the boys wishing merry christmas at the end.

@usafreedom100 Again, this IS the 45 playing. This is a promo copy, and not the regular 45 pressing.

Very nice, Lloyd!! I like it!

Nice job, Ne14Gr8Music...good song and a good-quality recording! And yes, it is the promo 45 playing (with headphones, I can faintly hear the pops and clicks and the sound of the tone-arm lifting up at the end). A good example for all the other You-Tubers out there who want to share music with us by holding a toy microphone in front of a portable record player. The sound is so awful--like, why bother?

HATE how the syndicated Christmas radio specials edit the greetin's from the guys off of it. Makes the whole cut for me! God bless y'all, Alabama cousins!

It does have the same melody but whoever said that Allan Caswell's version is better, I want what ever u are smokin. He built an infringement matter and there are similarities but nothing has came of it. U can't put Allan Caswell and Alabama in the same sentence without laughing.
