Some very merry news to all the Jimmy Barnes fans!

Jimmy Barnes has released his first-ever Christmas album named 'Blue Christmas'.

The album includes covers of classic Christmas carols including "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" to "Silent night".

He released the live version of his title track 'Blue Christmas', which is originally sung by Elvis Presley in 1957. 

Talking about the inspiration behind the album, Jimmy wrote:

"One of the greatest surprises I ever got from our children was when they all snuck away into the garage and secretly recorded themselves singing carols for me."

On Christmas morning, when I awoke, they proudly gave me the recording and sat eagerly waiting for me to listen to it. That year I received lots of great gifts from various family members, but that recording had me weeping like a baby. It was the most beautiful gift I ever got."

"This album is my gift back to the kids, the grandkids and everyone out there who just wants to sit and sing with their family on Christmas. These songs take me back and they remind me why I’m here right now. I hope they do the same for you."

Here is the full  tracklist for the album: 

1. Jingle Bell Rock

2. Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

3. Santa Claus is Coming To Town

4. Let it Snow!
