The release of “Merry Christmas, Baby” follows the successful conclusion of Bonamassa’s 2023 tour, a testament to his enduring presence in the world of blues and rock.

The album debuted at #1 on the Billboard Blues Chart, marking Bonamassa’s 27th #1.

In “Merry Christmas, Baby”, listeners are treated to a diverse range of holiday songs. The album opens with an alternate take on the title track, offering a new perspective on this festive favorite.
The Irish rendition of “God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen” and the orchestral version of “O Holy Night” showcase Bonamassa’s ability to blend traditional holiday melodies with his unique blues-rock flair.
These new additions are accompanied by beloved tracks from previous years, including the soulful “Lonesome Christmas” and the rhythmic “Christmas Boogie (One Little Kiss).” The inclusion of Dion’s “Hello Christmas,” featuring Amy Grant, and “You Know It’s Christmas,” a collaboration with Bonamassa, adds a joyful spirit to the album.
