December will be here before we know it so itβs no surprise that artists are starting to announce upcoming Christmas albums.
Among the list of artists getting us in the holiday spirit this year are Vince Gill and Amy Grant who have teamed up to add to their timeless collection of Christmas songs with a new project, When I Think Of Christmas.
Over the years, the couple has released many Christmas songs and now this new album, coming out September 13, will give fans even more with nine remastered versions of previously released tracks like Gillβs βO Holy Nightβ as well as Grantβs βTennessee Christmas.β
βChristmas Music is a portal to wonder and awe, to nostalgia and βremember when,β to hope and how-we-wish-it-could-be,β says Grant. βAnd because we return to the same playlists year after year, those songs have become the backdrop for our collective memories of gathering, of family, of gift giving, of celebration and solitude.β
Among these fan-favorites will also be two new recordings, including Grantβs version of the albumβs title track and a duet between the couple titled, βTil the Season Comes Round Again.β
βIβve recorded a lot of Christmas music over the years, and Iβm excited to add two new songs to this collection, especially the song Vince and I close our Christmas concerts with, ββTil The Season Comes Round Again.β I hope these new songs find a place on playlists, whether itβs during the holiday season or all year βround,β she added.
βThereβs nothing in the world that I love more than watching my girl shine, and she might shine the brightest when she does Christmas music,β Gill said humbly. βWe have shared stages together for over 30 years and Iβve loved every note of it. I hope everyone enjoys this collection of songs, and hearing Amy shine.β
When I Think Of Christmas will be available digitally, on CD or in an Olive Green vinyl with a limited edition Apple Red vinyl being sold exclusively at Nashvilleβs Ryman Auditorium and the Official Artist Store.
