Country music legend T.G. Sheppard and acclaimed singer songwriter and author Kelly Lang are excited to release their latest collaboration, the beautiful holiday album ‘Tender Tennessee Christmas’. This 10 song collection is filled with their signature harmonies and genuine connection, giving new life to beloved holiday favorites and original tracks alike. The duo included popular Christmas songs such as “Christmas Without You,” “Hard Candy Christmas,” “Mary Did You Know,” “Baby It’s Cold Outside,” and “White Christmas,” which features a wonderful duet with The Oak Ridge Boys. The title track itself, which is one of their all time favorite Christmas songs, was actually written by the talented Amy Grant and Gary Chapman, and Sheppard shares that when they were choosing songs for the project, the lyrics brought them immense comfort, making it a natural inclusion on the album.
The music video for the title track, which was sponsored by Gus Arrendale and Springer Mountain Farms, premiered digitally by GodTube and will make its television debut on the American Country Network on November 28th at 6:00 AM ET and again at 4:00 PM ET, with additional airings throughout the holiday season. The duo also filmed the video at the historically rich Johnny Cash Cabin Recording Studio, with Sheppard noting, “What a thrill it was to film the video at The Johnny Cash cabin recording studio. You could feel the history within the walls.” The duo will also perform “Tender Tennessee Christmas” on ‘The Dailey & Vincent Show Christmas Special’ Saturday, November 29th at 8:30 PM ET on RFD TV and again on December 13th. Lang summed up their enthusiasm, sharing that, “T.G. and I have always loved Christmas. It is my favorite time of year with all of the decorations, classic movies, and timeless music. We have been talking about doing this album for years and are so excited to share it with you. Merry Christmas, everyone!!”
