Lady A brings the holiday cheer, but not until September
This is the trio's first full holiday album in 13 years – a set split between originals, modern-take classics and traditional songs.
Lady A also will take the songs on the road. "We're really excited about being on the road in December for our first Christmas tour," said Lady A's Dave Haywood. "And that definitely calls for some new music too. This album is filled with so much joy and gratitude. I hope it reaches fans this season the way we feel it ourselves."
Produced by Nathan Chapman, Sam Ellis and Dann Huff, the trio kick off with the original "Wouldn't Be Christmas." The group also has an original with original "Christmas Through Your Eyes" celebrating family-centric memories. They also include "Winter Wonderland" and George Michael's "Last Christmas," and the jazzy "What Christmas Means To Me." Paul McCartney's "Wonderful Christmastime" is in the mix as well.
Ricky Skaggs helps out on the original "Why We Sing Noel," and Chris Tomlin lends his voice on "Silent Night."
The track list is:
1. "Wouldn't Be Christmas"
2. "Winter Wonderland"
3. "Last Christmas"
4. "Little Saint Nick"
5. "Why We Sing Noel (Feat. Ricky Skaggs)"
6. "O Holy Night"
7. "Wonderful Christmastime"
8. "What Christmas Means To Me"
