Steve Wariner Issuing ‘Guitar Christmas’

Steve Wariner will issue a new album, “Guitar Christmas,” on October 12th on his own SelecTone Records. The set was inspired by Chet Atkins’ holiday gatherings in his office. “The initial idea came about as I was thinking of the wonderful gatherings that Chet Atkins would host in his office around the holidays,” Steve says, “Everyone would sing and play and remember those beautiful melodies from our childhood.” Originally released in 2003, the instrumental collection of Christmas standards arranged, recorded, and produced by Steve, was previously available only through his website. This year, however, Allegro Media Group will handle distribution.
