JON PARDI SET TO RELEASE HIS HOLIDAY ALBUM, MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM JON PARDI, ON FRIDAY, OCTOBER 27TH.

Artist: Jon Pardi

Jon Pardi has released his first-ever holiday album, Merry Christmas From Jon Pardi. Produced by the award-winning team—Pardi, Bart Butler and Ryan Gore–the 12-track project brings Pardi’s style to classics including “Please Come Home for Christmas” and “All I Want for Christmas is You,” some surprises like “Swing on Down to Texas,” “A Long December,” and “I’ve Been Bad, Santa” with Pillbox Patti, plus Pardi introduces original tunes “Beer for Santa,” “400 Horsepower Sleigh,” “Merry Christmas from the Keys” and more.

Jon recorded his new holiday album in February, and he advises other artists to do the same. “We recorded Merry Christmas From Jon Pardi in February, so it wasn’t too far out from Christmas. So, it was still cold out, and the Christmas ornaments were freshly put away. So, like to dig ‘em out, it wasn’t like a big deal. Everything we knew was right there because we just put it back,” says Jon. “So, we dug it out and it was great, and I highly suggest doing it then ‘cause you still have a coat on. I know it sounds kind of, hmmm, it sounds out of normal ‘cause he’s wearing a coat, but a lot of standards are recorded in the (studio) in July. Do you know how hot it is in July in Nashville? The last thing you want to think about is Christmas in July. So, if any artist is listening or anybody making a Christmas record, do it in January or February. It’s such a better feeling, ‘cause it’s cold and Christmas is not that far in the past.”

Jon Pardi (favorite Christmas song…not on his Christmas album) OC: …around Christmastime.” :28
“One of my favorite Christmas songs of all time is ‘Blue Christmas’ by Elvis, because Elvis’ Christmas record is one of my favorite Christmas records AND ‘Blue Christmas’ has been recorded so much, that’s why I didn’t record it. A lot of people were like, ‘Why didn’t you record ‘Blue Christmas?’ You love ‘Blue Christmas.’ I was like, ‘Well, everybody records ‘Blue Christmas.’ I was trying to make a new Christmas record that’s a little fresh, so that’s why I didn’t record ‘Blue Christmas.’ But it is literally one of my favorites. It reminds me of my grandmother around Christmastime.”
