Title - 'Down Home Christmas'
Artist - The Oak Ridge Boys

GRAMMY® Award-winning and Country Music Hall of Fame members, The Oak Ridge Boys will once again celebrate the Christmas season with their timeless hits and holiday classics on their 2019 Christmas album, Down Home Christmas.

Produced by Dave Cobb and recorded at Nashville's legendary RCA Studio A, this quite wondrous new Christmas collection includes standards - such as 'Amazing Grace' and 'Silent Night' - alongside new favorites such as 'Don't Go Pullin' On Santa Claus Beard' (written by hit-maker Anderson East) and 'South Alabama Christmas' (written by Jamey Johnson).

In fact, Down Home Christmas (out now via Lightning Rod Records) marks the Oaks' 30th annual Christmas tour, eighth Christmas album, and third album collaboration with producer Dave Cobb; but there's just something fresh, a little crisp, a wee bit more roaring open fire about this one, if you ask me.

1. 'The Family Piano'
2. 'Angels'
3. 'Bring Daddy Home For Christmas'
4. 'Reindeer On The Roof'
5. 'Silent Night'
6. 'Hallelujah Emmanuel'
7. 'Down Home Christmas'
8. 'South Alabama Christmas'
9. 'Don’t Go Pullin’ On Santa Claus’ Beard'
10. 'Amazing Grace'

The boys - Joe Bonsall, Duane Allen, William Lee Golden and Richard Sterban - kick things off with the hearty gathering song 'The Family Piano' which they back up seamlessly with the joyous 'Angels,' the read-aloud pondering missive 'Bring Daddy Home for Christmas,' and both the deep blues vibe of 'Reindeer on the Roof,' and then a quietly stunning 'Silent Night.'

An uplifting 'Hallelujah Emmanuel' is next and that's followed by a rambunctious 'Down Home Christmas,' the lo-fi country of 'South Alabama Christmas,' and then the album rounds out with the fun 'Don't Go Pullin' on Santa Claus' Beard' and (after a quick spoken word intro) an uplifting, stirring rendition of 'Amazing Grace.'
