Ray Stevens latest Christmas CD...

Hello all! It's hard to believe that it's only 10 days before Christmas...let me look at the calendar once again...and yes, it's December 15th...and I'm sure most of you are aware that Ray Stevens has a brand new Christmas CD out. The CD is titled Mary and Joseph and the Baby and Me and just recently Ray uploaded a promo clip. It in Ray talks about the CD...it's not too long, though...36 seconds...



As Ray mentioned you can purchase your copy of the CD at his store. To get there you click this LINK. The link takes you to the product page for the CD. If you're not a member of his site...in other words if you don't have an account with his store, you can register at his site for free and create your profile and account information.

Some of the excellent Christmas songs found on the CD are: "Mary and Joseph and the Baby and Me", "Merry Christmas", "Claws (A Cat's Letter to Santa)", "Frosty the Snowman", his cover of Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas is You", and then there's "Christmas Will Be Just Another Lonely Day".

Ray Stevens: Claws (A Cat's Letter to Santa)...

Hello one and all!!! It's been a couple weeks since my previous blog post. A lot of the time happened to be spent at my job. I work in an industry that ships packages/freight all over the globe and so during December, especially, the volume of packages increases a thousand percent and so I've been having to work 6 days a week...leaving me little time for on-line activity. As a result the time I do have at home is spent sleeping...with only half an hour or less available for the internet and so I visit Facebook and other social media sites and seek out anything about Ray Stevens that happens to be new. Peak season at my job should be over by the end of this week...but we shall see...in the meantime...

I came across an article about one of the songs on Ray's current Christmas CD, Mary and Joseph and the Baby and Me. The song's called "Claws (A Cat's Letter to Santa)" and I've mentioned it in some of my previous blog posts. The article I came across focuses on it's writers, Tommy Crawford and Taylor Craven, and the story behind the song. It also features comments from Ray, too. You can read the article by clicking this LINK. I echo the thoughts expressed in the article...I, too, hope the song becomes something of a Christmas standard in the same vein as other Christmas novelty songs. There isn't any YouTube music video of this song from Ray but I certainly hope he releases a video for it...the month of December isn't over...but, of course, you can purchase the Mp3 of "Claws (A Cat's Letter to Santa)" from Amazon by clicking HERE.
