Thanks to technology, Carrie Underwood, Martina McBride and LeAnn Rimes will be among the country stars performing with the king of rock ‘n’ roll on “Elvis Presley Christmas Duets.”
The new album, due out Oct. 14, will also feature Gretchen Wilson, Wynonna Judd, Sara Evans, Amy Grant and Anne Murray.
Sony BMG is releasing the disc in partnership with Elvis Presley Enterprises Inc. They say it’s the late icon’s first duets album and the first Christmas compilation of its kind.
While Presley only recorded 20 Christmas songs, his holiday albums have sold more than 25 million copies in the U.S. alone.
His 1957 release, “Elvis’ Christmas Album,” is the top-selling holiday release of all time with 9 million in sales, according to the Recording Industry Assn. of America.
