Country artist Jordan James has announced his holiday EP Christmas On My Mind will be available on Nov. 18 via Penumbra Records, an imprint of Eclipse Music Group.

The Atlanta native began singing and writing songs as a young boy. At the age of 12, James was selected to sing with Kenny Rogers as part of his annual Christmas concert, which awakened his passion for performing. His latest project features five seasonal classics.

“I wanted to make a timeless holiday record like the ones I grew up on. My producer Jeff Garrison‘s jazz arrangements really brought that vision to life. I’m proud of these songs and hope they are a part of the Christmas soundtrack for years to come,” he says.

James has teamed up with Habitat for Humanity of Greater Nashville’s Music Row Build for the release. He will be fundraising during his 12 Days of Christmas campaign starting Dec. 12, highlighting a different way to support the cause each day.

“For me, the best part of Christmas is being home in Georgia with my family. There are many that do not have a place to call home,” James shares. “I’m proud to be a part of the Music Row community’s work with Habitat for Humanity of Greater Nashville. They help make the cost of a home something that regular hard-working people living right here in Nashville, Tennessee can afford.”

The Christmas On My Mind live show benefitting Habitat for Humanity of Greater Nashville’s Music Row Build will take place at Star Rover Sound on Dec. 6.

1. I’ll Be Home for Christmas

The John Denver estate is celebrating the 50th anniversary of his beloved song, “Rocky Mountain High,” teaming up with Sony Legacy to digitize John Denver’s Rocky Mountain High. The concert special, which will air on PBS in spring 2023, was filmed in 1974 at Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheater and features many of Denver’s hits of the time.

The title track from his 1972 album was Denver’s first top 10 album and was officially recognized as a state song of Colorado in 2007. A limited-edition blue vinyl reissue of the album is out now on Windstar Records and Secretly Distribution.

In the early 70’s, Denver was one of the first artists to share an environmental message through his music, contributing to a number of charitable and environmental causes. He has received a number of civic and humanitarian awards over the years, including the Presidential World Without Hunger Award for his work with The Hunger Project and UNICEF, the National Wildlife Federation Conservation Achievement Award and the NASA Medal for Public Service.

A two-time Grammy-winning singer-songwriter and Poet Laureate of Colorado, Denver released 23 studio albums in his lifetime. He is best known for songs such as “Leaving on a Jet Plane,” “Take Me Home, Country Roads,” “Sunshine On My Shoulders,” “Annie’s Song” and “Rocky Mountain High.”

Denver has sold over 33 million records, earned seven Billboard Top Ten Albums in the U.S., and has notched seven multi-Platinum, 13 Platinum and 20 Gold certified albums.

Country songwriter Brad Warren launched his The Good Grief Good God Show podcast on Tuesday (Nov. 1). The debut episode featured Porter’s Call Founder and Executive Director Al Andrews and singer-songwriter Jeffrey Steele.

Over the course of his 20-year music career, Warren has had much success alongside his brother, Brett, as The Warren Brothers duo. The Emmy-winning and Grammy-nominated musicians have written over 30 songs for Tim McGraw, as well as tracks for Taylor Swift, Steven Tyler, Toby Keith, Keith Urban, Faith Hill, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Blake Shelton, and Dierks Bentley.

In 2020, Warren and his family’s world was turned upside down when he lost his first born son, Sage, to an accidental fentanyl overdose. Talking with his peers and those who have also experienced loss helped Warren to heal, leading him to create The Good Grief Good God Show, during which he discusses the topic of grief while offering personal stories of his journey to living with loss. The podcast aims to connect with those going through the long lasting healing process.

“I was approached by podcast producer Matt Peveto in Austin this year about doing this sort of podcast. Despite my initial hesitation, I started thinking of how much I would have loved hearing something like this throughout my grief journey,” shares Warren. “One morning I was discussing the podcast idea with my wife and she told me ‘You are doing this. You know God wants you to do this.’ And that was that. When my wife, Michelle, and God agree on something I don’t argue. I just do it.”

The Good Grief Good God Show will air monthly on every first and third Tuesday across all major audio platforms and on YouTube. This season will feature songwriters Aimee Mayo, Casey Bethard and JT Harding, as well as sports agent Tim O’Neil, three-time Grammy winner Ashley Cleveland, and Texas singer-songwriter Cory Morrow with more to be announced.
