Chris Young Announces 'It Must Be Christmas' Album

Chris Young will release his first-ever Christmas album, It Must Be Christmas, on Oct. 14 on RCA Records Nashville.

The project is a mix of original songs and classic holiday tunes. Corey Crowder and Young co-produced the album, which will be his sixth album for the label.

“This is something I’ve wanted to do for a really long time,” said Young. “Christmas is one of my favorite times of year and it was hard to narrow down the list of songs for this record. I’m excited to share my own versions of many of the standards I sang as a kid every year at Christmas, plus I had the opportunity to write a couple of original songs to celebrate the season.”
