Christian pop singer Michael W. Smith will be releasing a Christmas album on Sept. 30, titled Michael W. Smith & Friends: The Spirit of Christmas. The album will feature guest appearances by a number of prominent country stars, including Carrie Underwood, Lady Antebellum and Martina McBride, as well as Michael McDonald and Bono. Smith announced the album with a brief teaser video, which you can watch below.
"I think Nashville is home to some of the most talented people on Earth," Smith told Rolling Stone Country. "To get to sing with artists like Carrie Underwood, Lady A, Michael McDonald - really, everyone on this album - was such an honor."
Michael W. Smith & Friends: The Spirit of Christmas will be Smith's fourth Christmas album, following 1989's Christmas, 1998's Christmastime, and 2007's It's A Wonderful Christmas. Smith's most recent album Sovereign was released back in May. In support of The Spirit of Christmas, Smith will embark on The Spirit of Christmas tour this fall.
