Merry Christmas from the Family
written by: Robert Earl Keen
Here’s the finished song. Never thought my travel would divert into an obsessive cross-country recording project, but it’s been the most fun of the whole trip! Merry Christmas everyone!!!
It was such a simple plan. Hey, let’s try recording in a studio to learn how it’s done and what I sound like… and heck why not put out a little Christmas song just for fun. Maybe get a couple local guys to play along. Well it kinda snowballed into a full ensemble piece, far flung recording sessions, and a photo shoot with my ace photographer daughter Elizabeth for cover art. That’s the short story; for the long one keep scrolling…
Hope you enjoy. Good night and a very Merry Christmas to all!!
