Casey James Talks New Christmas Song, ‘I Like Christmas’

Casey James- CountryMusicIsLove 1

Christmastime is a time full of holiday cheer and happy tunes. A number of country stars have recorded their own versions of Christmas classics as well as original holiday songs. This year, Casey James released “I Like Christmas,” an original tune of his own.

“‘I Like Christmas’ is a wonderful, wonderful song. I love it. It’s happy, it’s up-tempo: it’s one of my favorite songs I’ve ever recorded,” the Texas native says of the tune.

“A crazy opportunity came along where I found this amazing, beautiful song that I wanted to, you know, be a part of, and it just so happens that my manager and his family wrote the thing. And I put my hand in it and did a lot of work with it, as well, but I’m so proud of the song, and every time I listen to it, I start smilin’ and just laughin’, and I love it. And it’s a bluesy thing, too, which makes me feel really good ’cause I’ve always wanted to at least get out at least just one song where I can just play a little bit of blues guitar, just kind of straight up, and sing a bluesy song. And the song is killer, it’s fun-loving, it’s happy; it’s everything it needs to be for a Christmas tune. And I think, really, I could see it becoming a Christmas classic, you know, I really love the song that much.”

Why was he inspired to release a country Christmas song? Well, simply, he loves holiday music.

“I’m a big fan of Christmas music, and I listened to the Elvis Presley, you know, Christmas CD, and Bing Crosby, and it just goes on and on. I mean, I listen to a lot of Christmas music.
