Tom Wopat and John Schneider, who once teamed up as Luke and Bo Duke (respectively) taking on terrible Boss Hogg in Hazzard County, are working together on a Christmas album. Now y'all might remember ol' Bo, there, once did a countrified Christmas album, "White Christmas" featuring the song "Katy's Christmas Card". And he musta done another Christmas album at some point because there it is--"Acoustic Christmas"--right on his own web site. Luke, meanwhile, has been servin' up a buffet of Rat Pack influenced Big Band music to anybody who can afford the cover charge. And Bo and Luke even did a Christmas movie together back in the eighties. And Luke, now, Luke even sang in the musical version of "A Christmas Story". So, ya see, them Dukes got Christmas on the brain somehow.
Once upon a time, there was this very smart Greek fella that said that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. Well, I can tell ya right now that that fella had never been to Hazzard County. You see, its taken all this time for Bo and Luke to team up and just do a Christmas album together, flat out. And what do you think you get when you cross Country and Big Band Swing Jazz? Apparently, you get Country and Big Band Swing Jazz. Least wise that's what the Dukes say. It ain't no Donny and Marie, I can promise you that. Personally, I'd be mighty gratified if the boys brought Cousin Daisy along for a song or two. Why that girl shoots like Annie Oakley, drives like Richard Petty, and knows the words to ALL the Dolly Parton songs. She's a better lookin' Duke to boot.
Psst. You think these guys ever get tired of all the Dukes of Hazzard stuff? I'm tired and I only did three paragraphs.
