An overlooked (Christmas) cover tune CIII

After listening to the Jim Cullum Jazz Band's version of "O Holy Night" recently, I was struck by how effectively it uses Dixieland instrumentation.  If I didn't know otherwise, I would have thought this version was from an album called "Christmas In New Orleans."

Even after hearing it multiple times, I keep expecting Leon Redbone to start singing over it.
