Eddy Arnold
The music of Christmas was near and dear to country legend Eddy Arnold's heart, and between 1949 and 1967, he recorded two dozen holiday favorites for the RCA Victor label. Second Disc Records and Real Gone Music have compiled every one of those seasonal sides on The Complete RCA Victor Christmas Recordings, including the complete Christmas with Eddy Arnold album produced by Chet Atkins and featuring Nashville's finest musicians. This first-ever compendium of Eddy Arnold's yuletide music boasts his own "C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S" and "Will Santy Come to Shanty Town," along with Boudleaux Bryant's "Christmas Can't Be Far Away" and family favorites such as "Up on the Housetop," "Winter Wonderland," "White Christmas" and "Jingle Bell Rock" - all rendered in the timeless, smooth Arnold style. Rare, never-before-on-CD singles and special holiday greetings from Eddy himself round out this definitive, newly-remastered collection with never-before-seen photographs from the Sony Music Archives and Joe's liner notes.
