\"CountryIt is a country Christmas<\/a> this year as multiple country artists have announced albums for the festive season.

Loretta Lynn’s new album is due in just a few weeks, on October 7th and is named White Christmas Blue<\/strong><\/a><\/em>. The unusual title of the album is due to an original song by the same title the album is named for. Lynn sings several classics include a reprise of her Christmas<\/a> hits, Country Christmas<\/a><\/em> and To Heck with Old Santa<\/a> Claus<\/em>. <\/p>\n

Chris Young will bring out It Must Be Christmas<\/a> on October 14th and he brings an all-star cast of musical stars with him. Alan Jackson, Brad Paisley and Boyz II Men join Young on the album. Here is the track listing:<\/p>\n
