Kenny Rogers has said that he’s planning to release a new Christmas record titled Once Again It’s Christmas! The last time he did that was Christmas From the Heart, which was 17 years ago.

While Kenny always has had a soft spot for the holidays, he’s also gotten talent from all over, including: Jennifer Nettles, Alison Krauss, Home Free, Jim Brickman and Winfield’s Locket.

 

Kenny seems pretty happy with the way recording’s been going…“I can’t tell you how much fun it was recording a Christmas record again, “I’m excited for people to hear it. I feel like this is a special group of songs — both old and new — and I was particularly lucky to be joined by many talented guest artists and musicians who each have something unique to say.”

 

Rogers has performed a Christmas & Hits tour every year since the first christmas album he released (in 1981) this year’s tour will feature Linda Davis but we don’t know exactly WHEN the tour dates are yet!

 

“Christmas is my favorite time of year. It’s a very important season for me, especially now that I have twin boys who just turned 11 years old. It’s reminded me of how you see it through different eyes when you’re a parent. It’s wonderful,”

 

Makes you feel the Christmas spirit already doesn’t it?
