Brett Young Plans New Christmas Album, CMT Crossroads Special

September 24, 2021/by Lorie Hollabaugh

Brett Young is giving fans an early Christmas gift this season with his first-ever Christmas album, Brett Young & Friends Sing The Christmas Classics, on Oct. 22. The eight-song collection is available for pre-order with “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” featuring Sam Fischer available everywhere now.

Young enlisted an all-star lineup of guests for the project, including Colbie Caillat, Fischer, Dann Huff, Darius Rucker, Maddie & Tae, Chris Tomlin and Phil Wickham. Producer Noah Needleman helped Young produce the project after getting in the spirit with his release of the classic “Silver Bells” last year.

“I’ve always known that I wanted to make a Christmas album one day, it was just a matter of figuring out how I could do something a little bit different,” Young says. “We tapped into an old school, lo-fi sound with ‘Silver Bells,’ and knew we had the blueprint for a full album. It means the world that so many incredible artists who I respect were open to singing with me on the project… we don’t take the title Brett Young and Friends lightly!”

Later this year, Young will bring the album’s must-see duets to TV on the special CMT Crossroads Christmas: Brett Young & Friends. More details on the show will be announced in the coming weeks.

Brett Young and Friends Sing The Christmas Classics Track List:
Silver Bells
White Christmas ft. Colbie Caillat
The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire) ft. Phil Wickham
The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don’t Be Late) ft. Dann Huff
Silent Night ft. Chris Tomlin
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! ft. Maddie & Tae
Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree ft. Darius Rucker
Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas ft. Sam Fischer
