A Country Music Christmas : Songs, Memories, and 33 similar items

Synopsis Country music fans will delight in the chance to share the joys of Christmas with some of America's most beloved stars. A rich collection of memories and traditions, the book features stories in the stars' own words of childhood memories and favorite ways of celebrating the most festive holiday of the year. Stars like Dolly Parton and Billy Ray Cyrus recall how childhoods like theirs poor in terms of money, but rich in terms of love resulted in some of the happiest Christmas memories they have. And memories are being made today with stars like Tim McGraw, Tanya Tucker, and Clint Black, who discover anew the magic of Christmas through their children's eyes. Photos reveal the private side of the stars, and their recipes make Christmas country-style easy to achieve, with dishes such as Barbara Mandrell's Christmas turkey and Alan Jackson's cornbread stuffing, John Michael Montgomery's wild goose with currant sauce, Charlie Daniel's sugar cookies, Naomi Judd's miniature fruitcakes, and many more. The 15-track CD features songs specially recorded for this book. The album includes Tim Rushlow's "Little Drummer Boy," The Jordanaires' "Joy to the World," and Anne Murray's "O, Holy Night."
