Inspired by celebrated crooners like Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby and Nat King Cole, Grammy® winner Scott Weiland recorded a deeply personal album of holiday standards in 2011 titled The Most Wonderful Time of the Year. The original 10-song collection is now expanded with four unreleased recordings for its reissue this holiday season, marking the first posthumous music to be released from the Weiland vault.
Initially, the idea to record a holiday album grew out of Weiland’s 2009 performance of “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” on “The Tonight Show With Jay Leno.” The singer said Sinatra’s legendary 1957 recording of the song, which featured an orchestra conducted by Gordon Jenkins, inspired his take on this sentimental favorite.
Likewise, many of the songs on The Most Wonderful Time of the Year share similarly lush orchestrations, including horn and string arrangements by Michael Birnbryer and Jessica Catron, respectively. Weiland adds his honeyed baritone into the mix on timeless classics like “The Christmas Song,” “I’ll Be Home For Christmas,” “White Christmas,” and the title track.
