BGS Wraps: Christone “Kingfish” Ingram, “Ghost From Christmas Past”

Dec 7, 2020

Artist: Christone “Kingfish” Ingram
Single: “Ghost From Christmas Past”
Release Date:Ā November 13, 2020

In Their Words: “Iā€™ve wanted to do a holiday song for a while now. Last year was a bit hectic professionally and personally, so I just didnā€™t have time to get into the studio like I wanted. This year, with the pandemic and all, I had some downtime and was able to get with Tom Hambridge to record a holiday song he and Richard Fleming wrote.Ā I think the best part of recording this song was that I was in a nice groove. Iā€™d spent some time in Nashville writing and recording for my next album and all just worked out where I could record this track as well. I think recording the song as part of a larger session helped drive my energy and fortunately I was able to get into a nice holiday vibe in autumn.

“This has been a hard year for a lot of people. So, I truly just wanted to record and release something that could brighten folks’ day and hopefully help them enjoy the holidays despite the current state of the world. I really do like this time of year. Of course, you canā€™t help but love a lot of the classic Christmas music. But, Iā€™d say Charles Brownā€™s ‘Merry Christmas Baby,’ ‘Santaā€™s Got the Blues’ from Denise LaSalle and ‘Santa Claus Wants Some Lovinā€™’ by Albert King are three of my all-time favorites.” — Christone “Kingfish” Ingram
