Dunn follows latest album with Christmas staple

Ronnie Dunn has released his first solo Christmas single, “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas.” The track is available digitally via his own Little Willy Records and features Ralph Blane and Hugh Martin on stringed instruments.

“It feels like something broader in scope than COVID started pre-2019, culturally as well as on a global scale,” Dunn shares on social media. “For some reason the world still feels unsettled, when that happens we tend to gravitate to familiarity for comfort and grounding. The holiday season / tradition is intended to bring us together. Familiar music is like a comforting friend, a warm fire in the fireplace on a cold afternoon.I hope the world isn’t on a such a frantic pace that we lose the appreciation of simple, familiar songs.”

Dunn co-produced the track with Mike “Juicy” Kyle and Braden Carney.

It follows his fifth solo record, 100 Neon Proof, which was released this summer via his own label. The Brooks & Dunn lead vocalist recruited Jake Worthington and Parker McCollum for collaborations on the neo-traditional country record.
