Grammy Award-winning superstar Gretchen Wilson will have a
dream come true this month, when her debut Holiday album Christmas In My
Heart is released on October 8, 2013. The 10-song cd will
include a mix of traditional carols, holiday favorites and a few future
classics. Produced by Gretchen, the new album will be the third album released
this year on her Redneck Records label.
"This
is something I've wanted to do for a long time," said Gretchen. "We really took
our time and came up with a fun mix of classic songs and found some great new
songs to record."
The
Greg Barnhill-composed title track kicks of the album and is followed by the fun
"Santa I've Been Naughty" written by Robert Simbeck and Frank Michels. The
slightly irreverent "If You See Rudolph," by Trent Willmon, Jenee Fleenor and
Rob Byus, rounds out the original offerings on the cd.
Kids
will love Gretchen's versions of "I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas," "Have A
Holly Jolly Christmas" and "Nuttin' For Christmas," and her renditions of
classics like "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas," "Blue Christmas," "The
Christmas Song" and "Silent Night" are sure to delight listeners throughout the
holiday season.
In My Heart was mastered using the sparkling
state-of-the-art "Mastered For iTunes" format – a first for a Gretchen Wilson
release – and it can be pre-ordered at iTunes here.
