Brett Young has cut eight well-known Christmas songs with his favorite friends and vocalists to create Brett Young & Friends Sing the Christmas Classics.

The new collection is scheduled for Oct. 22 and includes versions of "White Christmas," "The Christmas Song," "Silent Night" and "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas." Fans who pre-order will get this Sam Fischer collaboration as a grat-track. It was also released digitally on Friday (Sept. 24).

Maddie & Tae, Darius Rucker, pop-country singer Colbie Caillat and producer Dann Huff are among the other artists joining Young on these holiday songs. All but "Silver Bells" are a partnership — contemporary Christian singers Phil Wickham and Chris Tomlin are two more who share vocals on this holiday EP.

While the album drops in October, a television special featuring all of the listed performers will come later in 2021. CMT Crossroads Christmas: Brett Young & Friends is slated to air in the coming weeks, according to a press release. Of the project, Young says he was looking to do something a little different with each song and let the lo-fi sound of "Silver Bells" lead the way.

Currently Young is headlining the Weekends Tour, with dates into December. Maddie & Tae and Filmore have joined him for the run.
