Blue Christmas by female vocalist, who is the steeler?

Tonight the local radio station played a version of Blue Christmas sung by a woman but they did not state her name. The recording did not sound country, yet in the middle there was a prominent, almost in-your-face steel guitar solo that to me sounded like 1960s or 1970s country. If anybody has heard this version do you know who are the singer & steeler? Thanks in advance.

Possibly Highway 101 with Paulette Carlson?

Thanks Steve. Highway 101 has a Christmas album and Blue Christmas is on it, so maybe that's it. I searched Google and came up with another possibility. Wikipedia's article on Patsy Cline says Jamey Ryan provided vocals for Blue Christmas in the the movie Sweet Dreams. I don't have access to either version and haven't found sound samples online.

Thanks Roger. Unfortunately that is not the version they played on the radio.
