My Kind of Christmas was released on September 2, 2016 and features ten tracks of Christmas classics from “Winter Wonderland” to “O Come All Ye Faithful” to “Silent Night.” In 2017, McEntire re-released My Kind of Christmas, but with more songs and this time, it was available to everyone for purchase!

Along with the re-release, McEntire posted performances of almost every song on her YouTube channel.

Accompanied by just a piano, McEntire captured the spirit of Christmas and emphasizes what is really important around the holidays, family, in her performance of “I’ll Be Home For Christmas.”

The iconic song was originally recorded by the magnificent Bing Crosby in 1943.

In the 73 years since its release, it has become a Christmas standard and was originally written about all the people who are unable to be home for Christmas. It’s emotional undertone really tugs at your heartstrings, but that doesn’t stop everyone from singing it at the top of their lungs.
