Preshias’ Stocking Stuffers
Stuck for gift ideas? Here’s a stocking full of music for everyone on your list.
Carrie Underwood My Gift
Heidi Newfield The Barfly Sessions
Brothers Osborne Skeletons
Garth Brooks Fun Limited Addition
Carrie’s seventh studio album and her first Christmas Album, My Gift debuted at the top of the Billboard Country Albums chart in October with a mix of eight holiday favorites and three originals including “Hallelujah” featuring John Legend. The title is kind of a hint!
With the third studio album from brothers T.J. and John Osborne, one or both of the duo have writing credits on all twelve tracks that shows them putting a definite ‘rock’ edge on their country.
Dolly Parton A Holly Dolly Christmas
An immediate Billboard album charttopper, this is Dolly’s third Christmas LP and the latest of an amazing total of fortyseven albums (so far!) Not surprisingly, it has already topped Billboard’s Top Country Albums and Top Holiday Albums charts.
Chris Stapleton Starting Over
Heidi’s sophomore solo outing (post Trick Pony) puts her in control (with coproducer Jim ‘Moose’ Brown) with her voice equally at home on songs leaning into blues, country and rock including some duets with Delbert McClinton, Randy Houser and Jim Lauderdale.
Why have fun when you can have more fun – with a Fun Limited Edition that offers a cool holographic foil cover and the Garth/Blake duet “Dive Bar” and “Shallow”, the new single with Trisha.
Garth Brooks Triple Live Deluxe
For the person on your gift list that just can’t get enough Garth, spring for this one with 30 songs on three CDs from the superstar’s various tours, including the world tour with Trisha Yearwood.
Trace Adkins Ain’t That Kind a Cowboy
Chris dropped the album’s title song in August as a teaser prior to the full November 13 release with eleven brand new songs and three covers. A real gift for Stapleton’s legion of fans.
Trace’s new 6-song EP includes the title track and the lead single “Better Off” with all the cuts coming from hit writers and running the gamut from ballads to good ol’ honky tonk. For a Christmas treat, buy the autographed edition at traceadkins. com.
Elvis Presley From Elvis in Nashville
Larry Stewart Everyday is Christmas
Releasing in November 2020, the 4-CD set is considered the ‘definitive’ chronicle of Elvis’ marathon five-day/night sessions with the ‘Nashville Cats.’ Elvis was finally able to pick his own repertoire for these recordings.
HARDY A Rock
One of Nashville’s most reliable hit songwriters, Michael Hardy proves he’s got the chops as a singer too, recording as the HARDY with this album of rockin’ songs.
The Restless Heart frontman has released his first-ever Christmas album with holiday-themed love songs such as “Cold December Night”, “All I Want For Christmas Is You” and Miss You Most at Christmas Time”.
Tanya Tucker Live From The Troubadour
Recorded at the legendary L.A. venue, the gig was one of three live shows celebrating the release of Tanya’s While I’m Livin’ album and has become a hit album itself. Part of the profits support Troubadour staff during the pandemic.
