Jason Michael Carroll has released his first holiday album, the five-song 'Christmas on the Farm.' The singer's buddy and frequent co-writer Patrick Davis produced the CD, which mixes classics with original songs for the holidays.

"I have always wanted to do a Christmas album and as you can image having four children at home we do spend a lot of time singing around tree," Jason Michael says. "When I heard 'Christmas on the Farm' I knew that was the song and one I thought radio would love to play. My kids have always wanted me to do a Christmas album, so with that song as the lead and my childrens' favorite 'Joy to The World,' I knew we had to do it."

This is the first new music since the 'Alyssa Lies' singer parted ways with Arista/Nashville in January of this year. The singer announced the split via twitter, saying, "Unfortunately, Arista andI have decided to go our separate ways. They called and said they would be moving forward without me!"

At the time, he promised to record a new album. "There are plans being made to go back into the studio and record new music, the second week of March," he tweeted. "We will shop them around Nashville and hopefully find someone who believes in what I do as much as you all do!"

Jason Michael is also working on a new studio album, which should be expected in 2011. He will hit the road next month with stops in Columbia, S.C. on December 2, Knoxville, Tenn. on December 3, Lexington, Ky. on December 4, Detroit, Mich. on December 8 and Duluth, Ga. on December 31.
