“We always enjoy recording Christmas music because it’s our favorite time of the year. Last year we recorded and released “White Christmas” featuring our dear friends The Oak Ridge Boys. This time around we picked “Christmas Without You” which was originally recorded by Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton. It’s always been one of our favorite duets by them both. We hope everyone enjoys our version of this classic hit which we will be performing on The upcoming Dailey & Vincent Christmas Special. Happy Holidays!” – Love, T.G. Sheppard & Kelly Lang
Sheppard recently celebrated the 40th Anniversary of his #1 hit single “Slow Burn” which was released in September 1983 and was the title track of the hit album as well. “Slow Burn” became Sheppard’s thirteenth number-one hit, spending fourteen weeks in the Top 40. The album also included the popular singles “Somewhere Down The Line” and “Make My Day” with Clint Eastwood, which was added to the record for a re-release in February 1984 and used in the hit film ‘Sudden Impact’ starring Eastwood. Produced by Jim Ed Norman and written by Charlie Black and Tommy Rocco, “Slow Burn” remains one of Sheppard’s most requested songs to date.
Lang recently made her official Grand Ole Opry debut for Opry Goes Pink, in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Opry Goes Pink raises money for the Susan G. Komen Foundation to aid in the fight against breast cancer. Her latest album, ‘Dragonfly’ contains twelve songs, nine of them self-penned, including her popular singles “I’m Not Going Anywhere” and “I Think It’s Jesus.” ‘Dragonfly’ also contains classic hymns such as “Amazing Grace” and “Jesus Loves Me / I Surrender All.” ‘Dragonfly’ also includes her powerful song called “Life Sentence,” about cancer, which Lang and her fans have faced together.
