Country music legend T.G. Sheppard and singer-songwriter Kelly Lang have just dropped their new holiday single, "Christmas Without You”. This track, a holiday favorite among Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers enthusiasts, has cemented its place as a seasonal classic. The collaboration between TG & Kelly brings a distinctive touch that only they could deliver. Premiered by Cowgirl Magazine, "Christmas Without You" encompasses the emotions of love and yearning during the festive season through its heartfelt lyrics and soulful melodies. TG Sheppard recently celebrated the 40th Anniversary of his #1 hit single "Slow Burn" which was released in September 1983 and was the title track of the hit album as well. "Slow Burn" became his thirteenth number-one hit, spending fourteen weeks in the Top 40. The album also included the popular singles "Somewhere Down The Line" and "Make My Day" with Clint Eastwood, which was added to the record for a re-release in February 1984 and used in the hit film 'Sudden Impact'. Kelly Lang recently made her official Grand Ole Opry debut for Opry Goes Pink, in honor of this past Breast Cancer Awareness Month. And she has a new album out now, ‘Dragonfly' which contains twelve songs, nine of them self-penned, including her popular singles "I'm Not Going Anywhere" and "I Think It's Jesus." 'Dragonfly' also contains classic hymns such as "Amazing Grace" and "Jesus Loves Me / I Surrender All." ‘Dragonfly' also includes her powerful song called "Life Sentence," about cancer, which Lang and her fans have faced together. #countrymusic #grandoleopry #newalbum #newsingle #christmas #marriage #inspiration #memories #musiclovers
