It’s not even Halloween yet but country legend already doling out Xmas gifts<\/p>\n
\n\tLike Mariah Carey, Willie Nelson is getting into the holiday spirit before even Halloween as the country legend has shared his festive new ballad \u201cChristmas Love Song.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tThe tender track finds Nelson working alongside his longtime collaborator and producer Buddy Cannon on a track penned by Country Music Hall of Fame Bill Anderson with Bobby Tomberlin and Marv Green. Harmonica great Mickey Raphael also features on the song.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cIt ain\u2019t a lot but every word of it\u2019s true\/It don\u2019t sparkle or shine\/But it\u2019s one of a kind,\u201d Nelson sings on the track. \u201cAnd I put my whole heart into this Christmas love song to you.\u201d<\/p>\n
