Some of my all time favorite Christmas songs are the old hymns like We Three Kings. Whenever I’m putting together our Christmas shows I always include as many as I can. When we were planning on recording a Christmas single, we wanted to feature a guest vocalist on a duet style song that normally is not a duet. We Three Kings is one of my favorites to do, and the band knocked this performance out of the park. I’m so pleased to have the great Valerie Smith on this track. Her soulful voice elevates the song so much and she was such a pleasure to work with. As usual, I changed the words and arrangement a bit to try to fit the more modern Folk/Newgrass feel we strive to attain. -Jack Dunlap
