Steel on Christmas Albums?
I just ran across George Strait's album, Classic Christmas. Great album and lots of nice steel. What other non-instrumental Christmas albums have good steel playing on them?

George Strait's "Merry Christmas Strait To You" is awesome. It has been a long-standing tradition at our house to play this album first when we start decorating!
The title cut was written by Bob Kelly, a great steel player who played with Clay Blaker and Johnny Bush, and many others.
Great playing on this album by Paul Franklin, Johnny Gimble, Leland Sklar, Reggie Young, Eddie Bayers, and others...

Here's one of my favorite Christmas carols, "O Holy Night" from Christmas Sounds of the Steel Guitar, by Buddy Emmons.

He did 2 with Tom Brumley, one in 1965 and the other in 1968. Both can be bought on Ebay at the following links.

Thanks for the mention of Strait's Christmas recordings....They were fun to make and we always recorded them mid summer....LOL
My Christmas CD was out of print for a couple decades....Thanks to the suggestion from Mike Perlowin I finally re-released it as a digital download and I wrote a complete backstory on how it was recorded for nerds like me....Its only available at Modern Music Masters blog store

I just ran across this post, but Lonestar releases a great Christmas record when I played for them that Paul Franklin played a bunch of killer steel on. It was a Dan huff produced record so it’s on the pop side, which I love! It’s really worth getting and digging into. Great E9th and C6th parts!

That is some beautiful playing Emmons did on O Holy Night. I have the CD, and I’ve about burned a hole through that cut.Glenn Suchan wrote:Here's one of my favorite Christmas carols, "O Holy Night" from Christmas Sounds of the Steel Guitar, by Buddy Emmons.
