Gretchen Wilson to Release First Christmas Album

Gretchen Wilson has already released two albums this year, 'Right on Time' and 'Under the Covers,' but it's her third one, 'Christmas in My Heart,' that she is the most excited about.

"This is something I've wanted to do for a long time," Wilson shares on her website. "We really took our time and came up with a fun mix of classic songs and found some great new songs to record."

The eclectic set of holiday tunes includes three original songs, plus several classics, including 'I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas' and 'Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,' plus the reverent 'Silent Night.'

Wilson is spending much of the next few months on the road, supporting her recent musical projects. See a complete track listing for 'Christmas in My Heart' below, and see all of her upcoming shows here.
