The Country Music Artists At Warner Nashville Share Their Favorite Christmas Memories

Some of the artists over at Warner Nashville sent over some of their favorite Christmas memories and we thought we'd pass them along to our readers to share this holiday season.

The JaneDear Girls

Danelle Leverett (the JaneDear girls)

Any Christmas tradition/food that you love:
I love helping my mom make Christmas sugar cookies:) They are cut out into different shapes like Xmas trees, stars, hearts etc. and decorated with green and red frosting and sprinkles!

Is there a Christmas present you remember being given as a kid:
My parents gave me a ukulele when I was four years old and I loved to carry it with me EVERYWHERE I went!

Susie Brown (the JaneDear girls)
Is there a Christmas present you remember being given as a kid:
"I'll never forget the Christmas when I received my first guitar -- I was 12 yrs. old.  I disappeared into a quiet room with the guitar and emerged about three hours later and played my first song for my family, “Jingle Bells.”  Little did I know, but that present would end up shaping the rest of my life!"

Michael Gossin (Gloriana)
Favorite Christmas Food
Mom’s homemade brownies. My brothers and I called them “reindeer-terds.”

Favorite Christmas Present
My favorite Christmas present as a kid was He-Man action figures

Rachel Reinert (Gloriana)
Christmas tradition/food that you love:
We usually recreate Thanksgiving dinner for Christmas- turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauce. The whole shebang!

Is there a favorite Christmas present you remember being given as a kid:
So typical, but I got an Easy Bake Oven as a little girl and I loved it! I wonder if I still have it?

Jana Kramer
Christmas food that you love?
My grandpa’s stuffing! It’s the best!

Is there a favorite Christmas present you remember being given as a kid?
My favorite gift was a fringe jacket. I thought I was Pocahontas when I was a little girl!

Favorite Christmas memory:
My favorite Christmas memory is probably always having euchre tournaments with my family and just hanging out laughing!

Frankie Ballard
Any Christmas tradition/food that you love:
My dad and I always watch “Christmas Vacation” with Chevy Chase. It wouldn't feel like Christmas if we didn't do that every year.

Is there a favorite Christmas present you remember being given as a kid:
Back when I played hockey there was a hockey jacket you would get, a red corduroy jacket, all the kids would get it and put patches on it when they got a hat trick or won a championship. I remember finally getting one and freaking out.

THE FARM

Nick (THE FARM)Some of my favorite holiday memories are playing music around the piano at my grandparents’ house on Christmas Day after everyone has opened presents and gotten fat off of my Grandma's cooking.  When I was younger, I would need a little prodding to get my fiddle out, but once it was out, I wouldn't put it away!  My Grandma would sit at the piano, my Grandpa would play stand-up bass, and we would play old Scandinavian tunes and Christmas songs for hours. When I was younger, I didn't realize how special those moments were, but I definitely cherish those memories now.

Damien (THE FARM)Some of my best memories as a child around the Christmas Holiday was singing in church! We would put together Christmas plays and friends and families would be there as we recreated the birth story of Jesus! I remember playing various parts like a star, a goad and even a wise man. I would have to say my favorite was playing the goat! We would drink eggnog after church and my family would all be together. Great times.

Krista (THE FARM)As the holiday quickly approaches, each year at this time, I find my heart a little melancholy. It reminds me of my father, how much I miss him and how wonderful he and my mother always made Christmas. I miss the sound of his accordion and the smell of our family-owned meat market smoking Christmas hams. I was eight-years old, give or take, and Dad decided we'd go out back on our land and I could pick out our tree. He patiently cruised for well over an hour until I had found the perfect one. To this day, I still pick out my own tree and smile, knowing dad is with me.

Brett EldredgeA few years ago my mom asked my brother and I for a new robe for Christmas. Being the jokesters that we are, we got the idea to get a really old gross robe and smeared brown shoe polish on it to make it look gross because we wanted to see how she would react. She opened it and tried to act like she liked it but I couldn't keep from laughing my butt off!  I was laughing so hard I was crying!  Eventually she figured out it was a prank and we went to the other room and brought her a brand new soft, clean robe! I kept the robe for Halloween and dressed up like 'Cousin Eddy' from Christmas Vacation!

Big & Rich- Big Kenny Is there a Christmas present you remember being given as a kid:
The greatest gift I've ever received is a letter from my Dad a few years back.  He spoke of all of his memories of my life through my ups and downs. He told me he was proud and loved me through it all and his greatest words come in the last paragraph, '...be at Peace with yourself, be at Peace with everyone around you and most important be at Peace with God.' "

Is there a holiday treat that reminds you of Christmas:
My grandmother would always make homemade Fruit Cakes.  They were as dense as an energy bar and chewy as beef jerky. I miss my Grandmas and Christmas always brings their tremendous strong spirits back so close to my heart.

Any Christmas traditions you plan to share with your kids:
I will never forget being about the age of my boys now (6 and 2) and sitting on my Daddy's lap and watching Berl Ives version of 'Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer'.  And I'm gonna love on my kids as much as I can and watch it with them again this year.

Taylor Swift Continues Award Dominance At The AMA’s

Taylor Swift won big at last night’s 37th Annual American Music Awards, taking home five trophies, including the evening’s biggest award, Artist of the Year. Taylor also won the awards for Favorite Female Artist (Country), Favorite Female Artist (Pop/Rock), Favorite Adult Contemporary Artist, and Favorite Album (Country – for Fearless).

Taylor accepted her AMA Awards live via satellite from her concert stage in an empty Wembley Arena in London, where she was rehearsing for tonight’s sold-out show. Taylor and her band stayed up most of the night to watch the show live from the US, and she accepted her last award at almost 4 a.m. London time.

"Music has never been ultimately about competition,” Taylor said while accepting Artist of the Year. “And to even be mentioned in a category with Michael Jackson, who we will miss and love forever, is an unimaginable honor. I just want to say that I'm sending my love to the Jackson family, and to Janet for reaching out to me the way that you have. And, to the fans, you have given me so much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving! I hope you guys have an awesome Thanksgiving…..l miss and I love you. Thank you so much!”

The AMA wins cap an unparalleled year for Taylor, who turns 20 in just a few weeks. Taylor’s Fearless CD is the best-selling album of the year in all genres of music, and her AMAs bring her 2009 awards total to 20. Earlier this month Taylor won four CMA Awards, including the industry’s top honor - Entertainer of the Year, and she was also awarded the CMA’s 2009 International Artist Achievement Award. She won this year’s ACM Album of the Year, along with their Crystal Milestone Award, the BMI President’s Award, and the 2009 BMI Country Song of the Year Award. Also this year, Taylor took home an MTV VMA Award, two CMT Music Awards, two Teen Choice Awards, and the NSAI’s Songwriter/Artist of the Year Award.

Country music group Gloriana also won the Breakthrough Artist Of The Year and Keith Urban won Best Country Music Artist.

CD Reviews- Gloriana- Gloriana

The Background:
Gloriana has already created quite a stir over the last several months opening for Taylor Swift on her “Fearless 2009 Tour.” The group was formed when brothers Tom Gossin, 27, and Mike Gossin, 24, moved to Nashville in the winter 2008 and began collaborating with Rachel Reinert, 19, and Cheyenne Kimball, 18. After a few inspiring jam sessions, a new and modern country band was born. Before they even had a name, the four toured the southeast, playing for free and coming up with different band names each night. Their first recordings soon found their way to Matt Serletic, who brought the group’s distinct sound to Emblem Music Group. Known for his work with Rob Thomas, Willie Nelson, and Aerosmith, Serletic co-wrote and produced the band’s album and first single “Wild At Heart.”

The Review:
On this freshman album by the quartet, vocal harmonies get the front and center spotlight, Gloriana channels their inner Little Big Town as the talented group makes a first impression- a first impression as a pop group, however. The first two tracks are upbeat percussion-paloozas, heavy on cymbals and drum tracks. The album takes the modern country-rock movement the route of Jason Aldean’s “She’s Country”- performed throughout with vocal gymnastics. If you listen to it as a pop-country mindset, it’s energetic, upbeat, fun, and young. But it’s not mainstream country music- even by today’s liberal standards. If this is mainstream country, then The Eagles & John Mellencamp fall on the Hank Williams side of things on the country meter. The biggest challenge I have with this album, however, is unlike Randy Houser’s “Anything Goes” where he sings from a perspective of experience or David Nail’s “Red Light” where there’s an actual identifiable person in the song, few of the songs tell a story. Few of them have a protagonist in the song- least of all the singers themselves- that you can identify with emotionally. It’s like an entire album of third party conversation. In an effort to identify with the broadest audience possible, it’s not connected with anyone specifically. I want to place myself in the song as a listener and with Gloriana, I found that difficult. It’s American Idol country music, more concerned with the how you can sing instead of the what you’re singing. It’s when they slow it down acoustically when Gloriana sounds their best, uncluttered by production.

Sounds Like:
Little Big Town Crossed With Joan Jett & The Blackhearts or 1990’s Heart

Track Highlights (suggested iPod adds):
Wild At Heart
Time To Let Me Go

The Verdict:
Two and A Half Stars Out Of Five
