Listen to the track-by-track special of the making of Happy Xmas exclusively on SiriusXM
Hear Eric Clapton with his longtime music producer Simon Climie take you track-by-track through the making of Eric’s first-ever full-length studio holiday album, Happy Xmas.
“I had in my head that these holiday songs could be done with a slight blues tinge, and I started to figure out how to play the blues lines in between the vocals,” said Clapton, who co-produced Happy Xmas with longtime music producer Simon Climie.“I got it down and one of the most identifiable songs on the album, the one that became the foundational style, is ‘Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas’.”
SiriusXM has this exclusive audio track-by-track album special that will debut on Black Friday, November 23rd at 12pm Eastern and Pacific on Classic Vinyl and will also encore on several Sirius XM channels including Deep Tracks, BB King’s Bluesville, Spectrum, and Holly.
