It&#8217;s their best <a href=\"https:\/\/mymerrychristmas.com\/x\/celebrating-20-years-of-the-merry-forums\/\">Christmas<\/a> release in a couple of years.<\/p>\n<p>The recreated euphoric recording features Wakefield on piano, James on guitar, and all eight dynamic vocalists harmonizing and trading the spotlight throughout.<\/p>\n<p>Home Free was joined by Texas Hill for a recent show in Wyoming, while Home Free was on their Dive Bar Saints Tour. The group has collaborated with plenty of artists over the years, but singing \u201cGo Tell It On the Mountain\u201d with Texas Hill marked a career first for them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s really special, and it\u2019s the first time we\u2019ve really done something like this. Obviously, we did something with the Oak Ridge Boys,\u201d Brown says, referring to their \u201cBeautiful Star of Bethlehem\u201d duet they did in 2020. \u201cBut this is just so different from that. The full body sound \u2014 we actually got to sing together on stage when the guys came out, and we filmed this music video in Cheyenne. We did a song on the show together, and we actually have some more shows coming up. It is some of the most fun I\u2019ve ever had. Just getting to sing with these guys and have seven dudes just wailing is awesome. It feels so cool. I hope it\u2019s an omen of all kinds of things to come just like this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Texas Hill, made up of three solo artists who already had a large fanbase, has earned even more fans after joining forces. Still, not only were they were blown away by how passionate Home Free\u2019s fans were when they recently performed together, but also how generous all of the Home Free members were to them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe crowd was phenomenal,\u201d Texas Hill\u2019s Casey James recalls. \u201cIt was a packed place. [The fans] were there early, so we pretty much had a full room to play for. And I have really never seen anybody be as kind as they were all day to us, in all regards, just truly sharing the stage with us in a way that we all really appreciated, and the crowd. Really got it. They brought us back out at the end of the night. We did that song together that we\u2019re going to be doing very soon.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe whole evening, the whole day really, was just really great,\u201d he continues. \u201cI think I said thank you to everybody about ten times. And I really meant it, because things aren\u2019t always that easy when you have two different camps put in the same area. A lot of times people are too cool for school, and there\u2019s egos and attitudes. And there was really none of that. it was one of the most enjoyable times. I\u2019ve had in a very long time in terms of playing shows with folks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Texas Hill might have loved spending the time in Cheyenne with Home Free, but the <a href=\"https:\/\/mymerrychristmas.com\/x\/sneaking-christmas\/\">love<\/a> definitely went both ways.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI really did appreciate the vibe,\u201d Brown shares. \u201cIt was so cool getting together. It felt like nobody had an ego. We were all just happy to hang out and talk about life and make good music. It was just so chill, and I just can\u2019t get enough of that. Especially in this town where everybody here has just got their work glasses on all the time. You know, they got their \u2018I\u2019m going to work\u2019 hat. It felt like we were hanging out and making music in a way that just doesn\u2019t happen very often \u2026 It makes me want to do so much more stuff, \u2019cause it was just a fun hang.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Texas Hill will join Home Free for the first three dates on their Warmest Winter Tour next month but according to Brown, there could be much, much more from them together in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Go Tell It on the Mountain is a snappy new release from Home Free and rising country group Texas Hill: Tight harmonies, toe-tapping swing and the country feel puts this Christmas collaboration right in the wheelhouse for Home Free.
