"Pretty Paper"/"Run Rudolph Run," Rocky Burnette (Gigatone)

Back in the '70s this guy had a hit with "Tired of Toein' the Line," and he's still around, as these new holiday tunes attest. "Pretty Paper" is the Roy Orbison song written by Willie Nelson that's more typically played by country artists nowadays, and he does a credible version. The Chuck Berry classic is a little weaker, as the harmonized chorus takes away some of the rock 'n roll flavor of the original. Still, worth checking out.
