LEBANON, Tenn.
(September 20, 2010) As you start thinking about holiday
entertainment and stocking stuffers, you may want to
consider some new music that provides all the authentic
sounds of the holiday traditions so many of us cherish.
The newest CD in Cracker Barrel Old Country Store’s
exclusive music program isWinter Wonderland,the
holiday album by acclaimed vocalist Mandy Barnett. In
addition to the title track, holiday standards such as
“Jingle Bell Rock,” “A Holly Jolly Christmas,”“Marshmallow
World,” “I’ll Be Home For Christmas” and “White
Christmas” are all included in this wonderful collection
of holiday songs. Mandy has recaptured the Golden Era
with the song choices and production on this album,
along with a musical cast of veterans such as Harold
Bradley, Lloyd Green, Louis Nunley, Gene Chrisman and
Tony Migliore, who lent their talents to render an
instant classic. You may care to know that guitarist
Harold Bradley and back-up singer Louis Nunley appear on
the original versions of several of these songs,
including “Jingle Bell Rock”! This album is now
available, but only at Cracker Barrel.
“I wanted this album to be a classic and to remind
people of the simpler times they had when they were
children,” said Mandy, in talking about how she
approached recording this CD. “It was important to
record these songs in an authentic fashion so people
would connect with them emotionally,” she added.
Mandy Barnett became well-known as a teenager when she
starred as country music legend Patsy Cline in the stage
show “Always…Patsy Cline” at the celebrated Ryman
Auditorium in Nashville, TN. The performances were sold
out nightly and received impressive reviews across the
country. Mandy went on to record various albums,
including one with legendary producer Owen Bradley. She
is an active performer nationally and internationally,
and is a frequent guest on the Grand Ole Opry.
Mandy is also a frequent guest at Cracker Barrel. “I am
hooked on Uncle Herschel’s Favorite,” she says,
referring to Cracker Barrel’s signature breakfast
offering. She also likes to order the Country Fried
Chicken country dinner plate and macaroni n’ cheese,
which she calls real comfort food.
“Mandy has a strong, resonant voice that warms your
heart as soon as you hear it,” says Cracker Barrel’s
Vice President of Marketing Peter Keiser. “Cracker
Barrel is very pleased to provide this high quality,
pleasing CD for our guests’ holiday entertainment and
gift-giving.”
