🤠 The Christmas Cowboy rides again! This 1966 Republic Records release captures America's Favorite Singing Cowboy during his post-Columbia era, featuring re-recorded versions of holiday classics from his Challenge Records sessions.

This later pressing on Autry's own Republic label represents the savvy businessman taking control of his catalog, creating one of many holiday compilations that kept his Christmas spirit alive throughout the 1960s.
