An Austin Rhythm and Blues Christmas Album

Austin Records' first release is a classic collection of holiday songs performed by some of Austin's most beloved musicians.

Texas Monthly listed the record as an offical "pick of the month." The Houston Post praised the album as, "one worth decking the halls over - the single best Christmas album of the year." And the San Antonio Light reported that, "Austin has a great blues heritage and herein are some of the town's top performers getting down on Christmas Eve."

Buddy Magazine enthusiastically said, "Paul Ray has gotten several of Austin's heaviest musicians and performers together to record An Austin Rhythm and Blues Christmas LP. You ought to go out and grab one right away because it's destined to become a Christmas classic, like Bing Crosby's and Elvis' Yuletide recordings."
