Christmas Time for Joey + Rory

Popular husband-and-wife duo Joey + Rory are serving up a holiday treat and also helping people in need with their poignant single, “It’s Christmas Time,” and a unique children’s album from songwriter think-tank The Song Trust entitled Merry Kidsmas.

Joey + Rory are partnering with CMT One Country for both projects. A portion of the proceeds from the sales of “It’s Christmas Time” will be donated to the local affiliate of Feeding America, The Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee, and a portion of the proceeds from Merry Kidsmas will benefit the USO through the end of 2009. “We’re incredibly grateful for an amazing year and hope to share some of that good fortune this holiday season. CMT helped launch our career, so we’re really excited to team-up with CMT One Country in the spirit of giving,” says Joey. "It's Christmas Time," written during a visit to Joey's family farm house in Indiana, will be released digitally, Nov. 24.
