A new album entitled Elvis Presley Christmas Duets includes many of his greatest hits turned into collaborations with several of today's stars. “I’ll Be Home For Christmas” is a duet with Carrie Underwood, while Rimes adds her voice to “Here Comes Santa Claus.” Other artists on the album include Martina McBride, Gretchen Wilson, Amy Grant, and Karen Fairchild and Kimberly Schlapman from Little Big Town. In a testament to the past, the album is being recorded in Nashville’s RCA Studio B, the same studio where Presley recorded the album in 1971. Priscilla Presley praised the project according to a news report from 1290 CJBK.  “We are so pleased that these accomplished artists are collaborating with Elvis in this unique way to make exciting new versions of his Christmas songs.  I am sure Elvis would be proud to have worked with them.”
