It’s that time of season where you start listening to your favorite Christmas music! The country music artist, Blane Howard released his first ever Christmas album last year in November of 2022, entitled, Christmas In The Car. 

This great record features a variety of Christmas classics. Blane Howard did something very unique with this album, by creating some amazing arrangements of quite a few top favorite Christmas songs. 

The Christmas album features one brand new original Christmas song as well, the title track which the whole record is based around entitled, Christmas In The Car. It was co-written by Howard and by the well known CMA, ACM & Grammy nominated songwriter, Bobby Tomberlin. 

This Christmas song, Christmas In The Car was inspired by Howard’s memories growing up and his family traditions, as every year his family would wake up early to open presents and then get on the road to make the seven hour road trip to his Grandma’s house in Kansas, while listening to his mother play albums like The Carpenters’ Christmas Portrait and Perry Como. 

While it didn’t always seem so thrilling in the moment to him, Howard looks back fondly on the memories he made on those Christmas mornings during his childhood. Today, he still recalls every word to Merry Christmas Darling as he sets his own family traditions with his wife and daughters, he shared in a quote. One of the highlights on the album is definitely Blane Howard’s version of Merry Christmas Darling.
