\"\"Emmylou Harris shares Nashville spirit in upcoming television special<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Emmylou Harris, Wynonna, Lorrie Morgan, Pam Tillis and more will perform in \u201cA Nashville Christmas,\u201d an hour-long television special on getTV. The show will air on Thursday, December 7 at 8pm ET\/7pm CT as part of getTV\u2019s \u201cMost Wonderful Month of the Year\u201d celebration.<\/p>\n

\"\"Emmylou Harris is a prominent member of the Nashville community, lending her talents to many fundraisers and leads a local dog rescue organization, Bonaparte\u2019s Retreat. She hopes that the spirit of her Nashville community shines through in this television special.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cThere\u2019s such a sense of community of all the artists in this city. I found it from the very beginning when I started hanging around with musicians, before I even became a professional musician. There\u2019s a real sense of comradery and generosity. It\u2019s not a competition; it\u2019s more of a community. Even as big as it\u2019s gotten, there\u2019s that Nashville that feels like a small town and I think that\u2019s the artistic community. I think it comes through on this show.<\/em>\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

One of Emmylou\u2019s most memorable recordings is the Christmas album \u201cLight of the Stable,\u201d which was released in 1979. One of the songs on that album was \u201cBeautiful Star of Bethlehem,\u201d which Wynonna wanted to perform with Emmylou as part of this show. Even though the two singers have very different vocal styles, Emmylou knew it would be a success.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have this stubborn belief that any two voices can blend, if you just believe<\/em>\u201d, she laughed. \u201cI love Wynonna, so I was happy to just be up there as part of the band and add some vocal duet lines with her because she does an amazing version of it<\/em>.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Emmylou also performed the Dolly Parton classic \u201cCoat of Many Colors\u201d during the show, bringing new meaning to the song.<\/p>\n

\u201cI never thought of it as a Christmas song, but it\u2019s about the spirit of Christmas \u2013 about what\u2019s important, about priorities, about family<\/em>.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Other memorable performances during the show are Lorrie Morgan\u2019s rendition of \u201cThe Christmas Song,\u201d Wynonna\u2019s version of \u201cO Holy Night,\u201d and Pam Tillis singing \u201cSanta Claus Baby.\u201d<\/p>\n
