Redoing Kenny & Dolly

Our Canadian Christmas cannon, Kristian Noel Pedersen, just released two song off of his Kenny & Dolly-Christmas album tribute. He writes: "While the album of originals is still in progress, I wanted to put this little thing out in the world. Last fall, I teamed up with my bandmates, Michael McDonnell and Rob and Andrew Currie (The Currie Brothers) to record a cover album of my wife Mel's favourite Christmas album, Once Upon a Christmas by Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton.
I've always been a bit turned off by the 80s production, and wanted to reimagine the album as a fast paced, country album. Admittedly, it gets a little wild at times, but all in all, I'm so happy with how it turned out.
This one won't be available on streaming. However, I'm hoping to do a small physical release run. I hope y'all enjoy!”

If the spirit of this duet is an indication of the rest of the album, 't is gonna be a must-have:

PS: about that new KNP-album coming up, he adds: "This year I wound up doing a cover of that Claudine Longet song through a Saul McCartney lens. It’s going to be insanely stupid haha."
