New York, NY (Top40 Charts) After nearly a decade,
Steve Holy has returned to the studio for the first time to release 'A Christmas To Remember,' out today (10.22) via Thrill Hill Records. Known for having two of the most played country hits from the 2000s, "
Brand New Girlfriend" and "Good Morning Beautiful," the
Texas native is spreading his own Christmas cheer with a 10-track album of festive favorites and one yuletide original.
"Christmas is my favorite holiday," Holy explains. "I couldn't have imagined a better time - or better songs - to head back into the studio and record for the first time in so many years. My hope is that this new music makes everyone feel the holiday spirit and get excited for what's to come - this is just the beginning!"
Stamping his signature, southern spin on the collection of seasonal staples from decades past - ranging from Bing Crosby's poetic "I'll Be Home for Christmas" to Elvis Presley's merry classic "Santa Claus Is Back In Town" and "Bringing In A
Brand New Year," a '60s swing by Charles Brown - 'A Christmas To Remember' is the first taste of what's to come, opening the door on a fresh, new chapter in Holy's musical career.
As the album's sole original, the title track serves as a standout moment on the project, shining a light on the true reason for the season, as it brings Holy's smooth, effortless tone to center-stage. Written by Sam Hunter, who also played guitar on the album, and his father Joe, the thoughtful track has all the elements of a true Christmas classic, from its evergreen message to its catchy hook.
