Lacy J. Dalton's 'Carl The Christmas Dog' Continues To Be Holiday Favorite
Country music hit-maker Lacy J. Dalton is known for her willingness to help others, whether it be teaching songwriting to prisoners, saving wild horses throughout the West or simply rescuing a dog that has become the subject of her holiday favorite, "Carl The Christmas Dog."
The song and video is based on a true story, however, much like the movies, it's not meant to be a literal portrayal, and tussles the story with exaggerated humor. Carl did eat the tree, presents and a bunch of other things, but, he did not eat the cat!!
"Carl is not much of a guard dog, but he sure is like my best friend," says Lacy J. Dalton. In making the video, Dalton adds, "This is quite the departure from many of the previous music videos, but I wanted to just get some friends and keep it fun and simple. So all we did was gather some good friends, Carl (the dog), a phone and a camera. I sure hope it brings some joy to everyone this Christmas season."
Strictly Country Magazine honored Dalton with multiple 2019 Spirit Awards, one of which included "Carl The Christmas Dog" winning the Spirit Of Christmas award.

About Lacy J. Dalton:
First hitting the Country Top-20 in 1979 with "Crazy Blue Eyes," Dalton was one of the most successful female vocalists of the format during the 80s with the CMA-nominated anthem "16th Avenue," as well as hits like "Takin' It Easy," "Everybody Makes Mistakes," "Hillbilly Girl With The Blues," and "Black Coffee." During her career, she has collaborated with such Country Music Hall of Fame members as Bobby Bare, Glen Campbell, Willie Nelson, and George Jones. She toured with outlaws like Hank Williams Jr. at a time when it was very unusual for a woman to do so. She also toured for a long period of time with Willie Nelson and was the only female on his "Half Nelson" album, which also included duets with Ray Charles, Merle Haggard, Carlos Santana, Neil Young and more. The album went Platinum and Lacy received a gold record for her contribution.
Her most recent recorded work is the four song EP 'Scarecrow' which is now available on all streaming music sites. Dalton is a 2017 inductee of the North American Country Music Association International Hall of Fame.
