Rudolf the Red-Nose Reindeer

This is my instrumental guitar-rock cover of “Rudolf the Red-Nose Reindeer”. It was composed by Johnny Marks based on a 1939 story, published by the Montgomery Ward Company. Gene Autry’s recording hit No. 1 on the U.S. charts the week of Christmas 1949. Autry first rejected the song, but his wife convinced him to use it. It has been recorded by countless artists since, including the Ventures – who included it on the 1965 Christmas album.
