“Home For Christmas” Album by Wopat and Schneider Brings Holiday Cheer!

HomeForChristmasWopat_SchneiderDukes of Hazzard News – November 17, 2014: Dukes of Hazzard co-stars Tom Wopat and John Schneider have released Home for Christmas, their co-produced holiday album, after a wildly successful Kickstarter campaign. Home For Christmas features 18 warm and inspiring Christmas songs performed by a classic jazz ensemble, complemented by Wopat and Schneider’s rich, mellow vocals.

Wopat and Schneider each had a number of hits on the Country Billboard charts in the 1980’s. While both of them have enjoyed independently successful music careers, including Broadway theater roles and studio recordings, they have also performed many concerts together. Producing an album together was always talked about, but studio backing proved elusive – and self-producing would prove expensive.

Enter Kickstarter. In 2014, when the “Duke Boys” decided to make a Christmas album, they appealed to longtime Dukes of Hazzard fans for help. The goal was to raise $60,000 dollars by August 1st, with a promise that the album itself would be out in October. Not only did Wopat and Schneider meet their goal, but they went over it! The total amount raised on Kickstarter was over $73,000. On October 28, 2014, Home For Christmas was released.

The question that all fans of Tom Wopat and John Schneider have, is… just how good is the album? For answer, here is a YouTube clip of one song from the album:

Time has not softened the voices of these TV icons, Billboard chart-toppers and Broadway stars. Any fans that want to help celebrate the Home for Christmas CD release can go to the party at Joe’s Pub on Dec 2 at 9:30 p.m., located at 425 Lafayette Street in New York City. In the meantime, be sure to get The Home For Christmas album for yourself!

The Duke Boys and General Lee Return in the New Autotrader Commercial!

We’ve got to hand it to Autotrader.com – they managed to put together a commercial that’s as much fun as a Dukes of Hazzard episode. John Schneider and Tom Wopat reprise their roles as Bo and Luke Duke as they tear across the countryside in a race from the law.

Now, we’re happy that Autotrader created this, in fact we’re thrilled, so we’re very hesitant to pick at the video. But we are a little sad that Autotrader took pains to avoid showing the roof of the General Lee – and therefore avoided showing the flag.

In fact, the car was never referred to as the “General Lee” at any point. Even when the lettering for the General Lee should have been visible, in the showroom scene, debris on the car conveniently hid the letters.

We’re guessing that these strategic omissions were made out of an abundance of political correctness; Autotrader is going after a mass audience, after all, and not simply pandering to Dukes fans. We understand that. We still enjoyed the commercial, and have to give it kudos for capturing the fun-loving spirit of The Dukes of Hazzard. Heck, we even learned something about Autotrader in the process!
