Hometown: Nashville/Wyoming
Song: “Christmas Carol”
Album: Christmas
In Their Words: “We didn’t know a little girl named Carol before we wrote ‘Christmas Carol,’ but I imagined that almost everyone would understand the hearts and feelings behind the relationships in the story. Because Christmas is a time for family, togetherness and love, we recorded ‘I’ll Be Home (An American Christmas)’ for much the same reasons. ‘Whenever a Child Is Born’ is about love, God and family, as well. All of those songs are appropriate because I believe our capacity as humans to love, offer compassion, and care for one another is always there and always accessible. The Christmas season can help inspire us, but it’s always the right season to practice kindness. Whether you identify with little Carol, Santa, or even the caregivers at the children’s home, I’d like to thank you for your heart, and for listening to the new album. Merry Christmas!” — Skip Ewing
