Shelby Lynne - Merry Christmas

GRAMMY� winner Shelby Lynne will release Merry Christmas, her first-ever holiday collection, on November 29th. Merry Christmas is a warm and heartfelt collection. Rootsy and off-the-cuff, it has an immediacy that makes you feel like you've joined Lynne and her musician pals around the hearth.A stellar group of backing musicians help give Merry Christmas its down-home vibe, including: John Jackson (acoustic, electric and slide guitars, percussion); Mike Ward (acoustic and electric guitars); Gregg Field (drums); Marc Doten (upright bass); Dave Palmer (Wurlitzer, piano); Ben Peeler (mandolin, steel guitar); Val McCallum (harmonica, acoustic guitar) and Jim Honeyman (clarinet, flute). Brian Harrison engineered the album.I've always wanted to do a Christmas record and now that I have my own label, the time seemed right, says Lynne, who produced the album and penned two original songs for it.
