Welcome to the Honky-Tonk Holiday, Christmas Special Vol. 1!

Although we've got a theme episode on our hands for the holiday season, it's not an entirely unconventional Boots & Saddle Show offering. We've got new/recent cuts, truckin' country, "lost" country and a whole bunch of beautiful country music by beautiful country music singers.
