"Up on the Housetop" is found on "Christmas with Doyle Dykes," available on iTunes to download (and other online retailers), as well as a CD copy at doyledykes.com.
Not perfect? Absolutely terrific, otherworldly playing .... well like always ;-) .... with one little difference: playing unplugged with this beautiful dreadnaught. A mind opener for me, love the pure acoustic sound, wonderful
Doyle, My grade school music teacher wrote that song. His name was Kenneth Mills and he was the dorkiest guy I ever met. We all wondered if he had a goose that laid golden eggs because he always had more $$ than the other teachers, and that song is why. Let me tell you, I never wanted to hear THAT song again. Yours is the first rendition I've ever liked so.... Merry Christmas, ya old fart.
“Not perfect [joyful laugh] but a lot of fun!” jokes Doyle Dykes at the close of another one to get us in the Spirit. You know who would have loved this? The two giants Doyle cited by name - Merle (16 Tons) Travis and Jerry (Amos Moses) Reed. I can imagine them looking down and smiling. Chet too. Recalling Mr. Guitar when asked late in life if there was an artist he would pay to see, Chet said without hesitation “Someone like Doyle Dykes.” This is exactly what Chet Atkins had in mind! Thanks for sharing this one, Mr. Dykes. Loved your closing benediction: “I hope you're having a great holiday season, and - go and get some good pickin' in - and go out and play for somebody else. Merry Christmas Y'all - and thank you.”
I don’t know where Doyle goes, but it would be hard to beat Randy woods in Bloomingdale Georgia, near Savannah. He has cared for Elvis’s and many other big names - even mine.
Truly amazing 👏
