Aguilera, Buble Among 'A Very Special Christmas' Anniversary Artists
by Caitlin R. King, The Associated Press  |   August 06, 2012 8:11 EDT

Christina Aguilera, Michael Buble, Dave Matthews and Train are among the acts
helping Special Olympics celebrate the 25th anniversary of its "A Very
Special Christmas" album series.

Two albums will be released Oct. 16 to celebrate the partnership, which has
raised more than $100 million for Special Olympics. "A Very Special Christmas
25th Anniversary" will be released on Big Machine Records and Word Records
will issue "A Very Special Christmas: Bringing Peace on Earth."

Train lead singer Pat Monahan attended a press conference at Blackbird
Studios in Nashville Monday to announce the albums, along with Special
Olympics Chairman and CEO Tim Shriver, Nashville Mayor Karl Dean and
Christian artist Francesca Battistelli. Several Special Olympics athletes
were on hand, as well.

Monahan called it an honor to be a part of the series and said the members of
Train have been purchasing the albums individually for a long time.

"This has been the Christmas album that we all look at each year and go, 'How
come we're not on it?' Now we get to say that we're on it," he said in an
interview.

The members of Train immediately headed downstairs into a studio to record a
holiday classic for the album.

"Trying to do 'Joy to the World' in a way that hasn't been heard before is
probably the most difficult task that we've got this year," Monahan said.
"But we're going to do our best, and maybe mash it together with a Train song
and make it a little fun for everybody."

Shriver said the albums have become the largest single source of funding for
the Special Olympics and its athletes.

"This 25th anniversary will be the biggest year in the history of this
series," he said. "This is music that continues to sell. People buy it. They
enjoy it. They think it's just great Christmas music, but it's more than
that. It's changing the world."

Other artists involved in the project include Jason Mraz, Vince Gill, Amy
Grant, Rascal Flatts, The Band Perry, Cheap Trick, Natalie Grant, Sidewalk
Prophets and Jamie Grace.

10月16號會由 Big Machine Records和 Word Records發行一張 2CD的聖誕合輯，
叫做 A Very Special Christmas: Bringing Peace on Earth，
確定收錄克的歌，但還不知道會是以前聖誕專輯裡的舊歌或是錄新歌。
