No Longer In Production!
As described by Gene Autry Entertainment:
If there is a season, there is a song for it. Gene Autry is well known for his best-selling classic Christmas songs and this  album is his first-ever CD of songs for the entire year. You’ll find familiar holiday favorites such as Peter Cottontail, Yankee Doodle Boy, and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer but you’ll also hear summertime tunes like Peach Picking Time Down in Georgia, It’s My Lazy Day, and Gone Fishin’. Yes, Gene sings songs for Easter, the 4th of July, and Thanksgiving – and you may even be surprised to hear a tune for Income Tax Day! Gene Autry is joined by several of his good friends on this collection of year-round tunes including the Cass County Boys, the Pinafores, Mary Lee, Smiley Burnette, and Pat Buttram.
