Brett Eldredge’s latest foyer into the festive world of holiday music arrived with the release of his 11-track project, "Mr. Christmas."
Over the years, Eldredge has become known as one of the country genre’s best Christmas crooners, combining his warm baritone vocals with a jazzy, big band-inspired musical backdrop.
Altogether, he’s got all the right ingredients to create an instant classic holiday album.

In the years since, he’s borrowed the name of that project for his annual Christmas tour. Now, he’ll add to his growing cache of Christmas music with a new batch of tracks.
"I really think some of the last of the magic left in this world is in Christmas music,” the singer said in a statement. "There’s a lot of joy in this record -- even more than the first in some ways -- and I wanted to tip a hat to where I started...but also take it to the soulful side of my music.”
