Toby Keith Goes Acoustic on Christmas CD
By JayIsh on Jun 8, 2007 in Music News
Toby Keith’s new album, Big Dog Daddy, arrives on June 12, but he has another present planned for fans later this year. Toby tells Billboard.com he’s recorded a second Christmas album, which he plans to release in the fourth quarter on his Show Dog Nashville label.
Unlike 1995’s Christmas to Christmas,which was stocked with originals, the new, as-yet-untitled album, will be a two-CD set of existing Christmas classics. “I did 10 Christian and 10 Santa Claus songs,” Toby says. “One disc has ‘White Christmas’ and ‘Frosty the Snowman’ kind of songs. The other has very Christian-type songs like ‘Little Drummer Boy’ and ‘Silent Night.’”
Toby says he took a slightly different musical course on the album, too. “I cut it mainly with acoustic instruments,” he says. “I called it the bluegrass band — dobro, fiddle, mandolin, piano, acoustic bass and brushes on the drums. That became a new part of me. I like to hear myself working in that atmosphere and that environment.”
Now there’s something to look forward too!!!
