Album Information

Cover Art: A Gene Autry Christmas - SOLD OUT!
A Gene Autry Christmas

Released: 1994
Label: Columbia/Legacy

A Gene Autry Christmas is a delightful compilation of Gene Autry’s original 1940s and ’50s Christmas recordings for Columbia Records. Gene’s classic renditions of Here Comes Santa Claus, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, and Frosty the Snowman are included as well as fan favorites When Santa Claus Gets Your Letter and Where Did My Snowman Go?

The liner notes are difficult if not impossible to read and the cover art is quite possibly the ugliest ever conceived for a Gene Autry release. But don’t let this fool you! This CD is a must for your Christmas music collection.
