YULE LOVE THIS ICONIC RONSTADT RELEASE

Could it be we’re finally off the naughty list? We doubt it, but Iconic Artists Group is delivering holiday treats on 10/27 nonetheless, namely the CD reissue and first vinyl release of Linda Ronstadt’s bestselling 2000 holiday classic, A Merry Little Christmas.

Featuring Ronstadt’s heartwarming versions of holiday classics like “I'll Be Home for Christmas,” “Away in a Manger,” “Silent Night,” “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” and "White Christmas" (the latter a duet with Rosemary Clooney) as well as a poignant take on Joni Mitchell's "River," the album will be available in metallic silver, evergreen and poinsettia-red vinyl. We have no doubt A Merry Little Christmas will figure prominently in yuletide listening this year.

Iconic struck the deal in 2021 as part of its representation and marketing of Ronstadt's assets, in partnership with Ronstadt, manager John Boylan (who co-produced the Christmas set) and Ronstadt's personal assistant, Janet Stark.
