Kenny Rogers: Discography

Rogers has taken his Christmas and Hits tour across North America for 34 years running, and his albums have been part of families’ holiday seasons for generations. That deep understanding of what makes Christmas so special for so many is part of what makes Once Again It’s Christmas (Warner Bros./Warner Music Nashville) — Rogers’ first Christmas studio album in 17 years — special in itself. The other reasons are easier to sum up: Alison Krauss, Jennifer Nettles, country a capella group Home Free, pianist Jim Brickman, and duo Winfield’s Locket all lend their talents to the Warner Bros. edition of the release, and The Time Jumpers (with Vince Gill) serve as the backing band for the exclusive track found only on the Cracker Barrel edition of the release. Then there’s Kenny himself. Inspired by these collaborations, his vocal artistry — the musicianship that’s easy to miss beneath the glow of his famously fireplace-warm vocals – has never been better. Produced by Kyle Lehning and former Kenny Rogers band member Warren Hartman, with plenty of input from Kenny, the album folds varied influences from throughout his storied career into a lush, cohesive sound.
