Sheryl Crow Set To Release Christmas Album
Published Saturday, 5th July, 2008 at 11:57 AM
Sheryl Crow has recorded a Christmas album that will be released later this year in time for the festive season.
For the album, Crow has covered versions of her favourite Christmas songs, such as 'Oh Holy Night', 'White Christmas' and 'All Through The Night', as well as an original track called 'Hello, Friend'.
Crow's Xmas release will be sold exclusively through card retailer Hallmark and their Hallmark Gold Crown stores as of this September.
Sheryl tells Billboard, "I had been wanting to do this for a while, so when the opportunity came up I just kind of jumped at it."
"I love Christmas music; every year we have this ritual after the Christmas Eve service, 40 or 50 people come over the house and we play Christmas music. We pretty much rely on the same Christmas music every year, and every year I've said, 'I'm gonna make some Christmas music of my own'."
"The album is just gorgeous. It's kind of a humble record; it's very sweet and innocent and a little bit of a throwback to maybe the '60s or '70s in production. It's definitely a departure from any Christmas record I've ever heard."
