<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“&#8217;New Baby For Christmas&#8217; was initially recorded in 1957 and I thought it was fun, as it&#8217;s kind of a honky tonk heartbreak/cheating song disguised as a Christmas song,” explains Whitters.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Every Christmas Eve since I can remember we&#8217;ve always gone to my Aunt Tina&#8217;s house and sung christmas songs on her living room floor around the Christmas tree waiting for Santa to arrive. Everyone brings a covered dish and drinks lots of red wine and doesn&#8217;t care how out of tune they may be, we all just sing together. It&#8217;s something I look forward to every year and are some of my most cherished memories. I wanted to make a record that captured the warmth and nostalgia of this holiday for me, and celebrates getting to be with the people I love.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We recorded live in Historic RCA Studio A with an all-star cast of Nashville session musicians &#8211; heavily featured steel guitar, fiddle and upright bass &#8211; using minimal modern post-production techniques, and I even sang on the floor in the same spot Dolly used to sing to capture the natural reverb of the room. There&#8217;s so much history in that room we wanted to capture and it felt like everyone was really feeling the spirit.” ; ;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“New Baby For Christmas” was produced by Jake Gear and recorded by Logan Matheny at Historic RCA Studio A and features performances by Kris Donegan (electric guitar), Chris Scruggs (steel guitar), Lex Price (bass), Jerry Roe (drums), Mike Rojas (piano), Eamon McLoughlin (fiddle) and Kristen Rogers (BGVs).</p>
