No. 32: Garth Brooks, ‘Santa Looked a Lot Like Daddy’ – Top 50 Country Christmas Songs
Country music was caught firmly in the grip of Garthmania in 1992, when Garth Brooks decided to release his first Christmas album.
A breakout star in country at the time, Brooks titled his holiday release 'Beyond the Season,' a collection of holiday standards that included such appropriately earnest fare as 'Go Tell It on the Mountain,' 'Silent Night' and 'What Child Is This.'
But it wouldn't be Garth without a more raucous side, provided in this instance by a spirited rendition of 'Santa Looked a Lot Like Daddy' -- a song that's also been covered by other country artists as diverse as Buck Owens, Travis Tritt and Brad Paisley.
