Title: Must Be Santa! The Rounder Christmas Album
Label: Rounder Records CDROUN3118

Since 1970, Rounder Records has released a panorama of roots-based music from America and around the world. Our first Christmas collection represents this lively variety, with songs from throughout our catalog. Along with favorites from some of our best-known holiday releases, we've included four performances created especially for this album and three more that have never been issued on CD. From Riders in the Sky's nostalgic "Christmas at the Triple X Ranch" to Bahamian Joseph Spence's startling version of "Santa Claus is Coming to Town," there's something for everyone under the Rounder Christmas tree.
