Martina McBride to Light Up Graceland

[Jeff Westover]

Covering ELVIS PRESLEY's most famous festive tune has helped MARTINA MCBRIDE land the honour of switching the Christmas lights on at the King's Memphis, Tennessee home Graceland.

MCBride is among the country stars who have overdubbed vocals to create 'duets' with Presley on his holiday tunes - and the singer got the call to perform Blue Christmas with the late icon.

And now, she'll turn on the Blue Christmas lights at Graceland on 21 November (08).

The Elvis Presley Christmas Duets album also features The King singing with Carrie Underwood, Sara Evans and Wynonna Judd.

I saw Martina Mcbride in a Christmas concert a few years ago. What an amazing show she did. I had goosebumps at the end when she sang acapella (sp?). Will this show be shown on TV? I would love to see it. I am also running out to get that CD!!!cheesy

I enjoy it when singers perform Christmas concerts. Amy Grant was another one of the great Christmas concert performers.

I only been to Graceland once, a year after Elvis died. I bet it's pretty at Christmas!

I love Elvis Christmas music and heard the duet with Wynonna. It was a lot better than I expected it to be.
