This record has one of my most favorite Christmas songs of all time. "Wagon On Christmas" is simply a great song let along a great Christmas song. I love the cowboy flavor. The chorus is very catchy and singable. The Chorus also just reminds me of some of the great old Western TV shows. Brings to mind a little bit of Sons Of The Pioneers.The whole album has that cowboy take on Christmas tunes, that makes it different than a lot of the other Christmas records in my collection.
Don't know much about Slim Boyd & The Rangehands, but this record must be one of their shining moments. There isn't even a wikipedia or allmusic.com entry on them. Would love any insight someone may have on them. But even without the biography, it is okay, because the record speaks for itself. Seriously check out "Wagon On Christmas" first.
Enjoy!

Wow! I listened to this as a kid and I've been looking for it for years! Just found out the name of the group... sadly, can't seem to find a valid download anywhere... any chance you can re-post so I can download it? Thanks!
