Country Christmas New Releases for 2019:

Kacey Musgraves – The Kacey Musgraves Christmas Show. “I can say without a doubt that this project is unlike anything I’ve ever done before,” states Musgraves. “What started as the small seed of an idea one night over a year ago has turned into something I’m so proud of. Some truly brilliant comedic and musical guests are featured in the show – as well as my own Grandma. My vision was to bring my old Christmas album to life visually and create a modern and fashionable, fresh take on a classic format. It’s a nostalgic, Wes Anderson-inspired reimagining of the holidays. It’s heartfelt, funny, and most of all, real. I can’t wait to finally share.” – Amazon.com press release

Keith Urban – I’ll Be Your Santa Tonight. “I’ve always wanted to record a Christmas song, but I really wanted to try and write something new,” says Urban.  “So, Shane (McAnally) came to my house and we wrote, really about a Christmas gone terribly wrong.  No snow. Too much fog.  Nobody can make it to the party.  It’s going to be a colorless Christmas, until her man comes through.” – PFA Media press release

Cam – I’ll Be Home For Christmas. “I’ve always been in love with I’ll Be Home For Christmas. My version is inspired by the sentimental attachment so many WW2 soldiers had to this song. It starts out as if I’m singing to myself on a lonely, quiet snow-covered night. And as the song builds, the image of home becomes more vivid and real, surrounding me with warmth and love, bringing me closer to where my heart wants to be. I also recorded this song while pregnant, so it will be familiar for the little one, who shows up around Christmas.” – @camcountry

Thomas Rhett – Christmas In The Country.  “Christmas is hands-down my favorite time of year. We have so many Christmas traditions in our family that include a lot of festive music, but I’ve never recorded anything myself. Lauren has wanted me to make some Christmas music for a long time, so this year felt like the right time to finally take a stab at writing something and to put my own twist on one of the all-time classics.” – Thomas Rhett press release

Tenille Townes – Songs for Christmas. “I love Christmas music and I loved getting to record a couple this year. The Christmas Song is one of my favourite melodies of all time that just wraps its arms around you, and One in a Million is a song that found my dear friend Daniel Tashian and I at the beach on a writing retreat, dreaming about one of our favourite times of year. Daniel produced these songs and I sure love getting to make music with him. Merry early Christmas out there guys! I hope these songs find their way into your holiday season!!!” – @tenilletownes

Wade Bowen – Twelve Twenty-Five album. “Christmas has always been the most personal of holidays, with its combination of faith and family,” says Bowen. “That was true for me while growing up and it’s still true for me today, albeit in a completely different way. As a husband and father who spends so much time traveling the world playing music, I love the feeling the Christmas season brings to my life. And I recognize how quickly time passes and how each Christmas is unique and fleeting. With my family, I try to keep the best parts of the warm, magical, small-town vibe that my parents gave me while growing up in Waco.” – Missing Piece Group press release

Maddie & Tae – Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas. “That chill in the air is getting us in the mood for Christmas, y’all! We hope you enjoy our version of one of our all time favorite holiday songs. Merry Christmas, everyone.” – @maddieandtae

We grew up listening to country Christmas music, and Alabama’s Christmas In Dixie has always been our favorite. And we are so excited to not only join Sara Evans on her Christmas tour but also to spend our first Christmas here in Nashville.” – @temecularoad

Brandy Clark ft. Charlie Worsham – Merry Christmas Darling. “I love the holiday season and I love the Carpenters. So, Merry Christmas Darling is a double favorite of mine. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed recording it with Charlie Worsham. Merry Christmas Darlings.” – @thebrandyclark

Dylan Scott – Merry Christmas album. I’m really excited about this project, I’m really proud of it. It was fun to make – we went in to the studio during the summertime to make a Christmas album. So they had to bring Christmas trees in, Christmas lights, and drank hot cocoa. I was just cool, it was like Christmas all year this year. I’m really excited for you guys to hear it. It’s all the classics that you grew up listening to – that I grew up listening to – and I just really can’t wait for you to check it out.” – @dylanscottcountry

From bickering with your family, to running late to church, to getting the last pick of Christmas trees, to wrapping presents on the kitchen floor, and getting drunk on egg nog with your Dad.
