A number of country music stars are getting in the holiday spirit a bit early this year.

Grammy-winning vocalist Michael W. Smith recently announced that his upcoming holiday album, Michael W. Smith & Friends: The Spirit of Christmas, will feature Carrie Underwood, Little Big Town, Vince Gill, Martina McBride, Amy Grant, and Jennifer Nettles.

“I think Nashville is home to some of the most talented people on Earth. To get to sing with artists like Carrie Underwood, Lady A, Michael McDonald — really, everyone on this album — was such an honor,” Smith told Rolling Stone Country.

The new collection is Smith’s fourth holiday album. He plans to launch a holiday tour in the fall.
