VIA PRESS RELEASE | Iconic Artists Group (Iconic) is proud to announce the October 27 release of Linda Ronstadt’s a Merry Little Christmas on vinyl for the first time, and as a CD reissue.
Originally released in October of 2000, it became the best-selling Christmas album of the year and continues to be part of countless families’ holiday celebrations. For this gift-giving season, three colored vinyl versions of a Merry Little Christmas will be available for purchase: Metallic Silver (click here to preorder), Evergreen (exclusively at shop.lindaronstadt.com), and Poinsettia Red (exclusively at Barnes & Noble). The CD is available for preorder here.
A welcoming window into Linda Ronstadt’s favorite songs of the season, a Merry Little Christmas includes such yuletide classics as “White Christmas” (a duet with Rosemary Clooney), “I’ll Be Home For Christmas,” “Away In A Manger,” “Silent Night,” and “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas,” plus an emotive rendition of Joni Mitchell’s “River,” along with traditional Welsh and English carols, and more, all beautifully wrapped in the comforts of Linda’s warm and familiar voice.
a Merry Little Christmas was recorded at Jim Brady Studios in Tucson, at Recital Halls at the University of Arizona, at Ocean Way Nashville, and the infamous Capitol Studios in Los Angeles. This classic holiday album was produced by John Boylan and George Massenburg.
Last month, Iconic announced the September 8 release of Ronstadt’s Canciones de mi Padre on vinyl for the first time since the album’s initial release, plus a newly remastered CD version of the album. Led by musical director/bandleader Rubén Fuentes and backed by four of the world’s greatest Mariachi bands, Mariachi Vargas De Tecalitlán, Mariachi Los Camperos de Nati Cano, Mariachi Los Galleros de Pedro Rey, and Mariachi Sol de México de José Hernández, Canciones de mi Padre on vinyl is available for order now.
