New York, NY (Top40 Charts) n early preparation for the "most wonderful time of the year," country music's newest and most explosive duo,
Dave & Whitney (Chelsea Creek Entertainment), will introduce one of their favorite holiday tunes. The engaging pair is set to release its rendition of "Old Toy Trains"* (written and originally recorded by
Roger Miller) in celebration of the season and as a special dedication to country music legend,
Glen Campbell (who recorded the song early in his career; "Old Toy Trains" appears on his 1968 album entitled
THE CHRISTMAS FEELING).
"We have a genuine admiration and respect for the character and artistic talents of Glen Campbell," states Dave and Whitney Campbell. "This song is simply beautiful and we'd like to dedicate this release to the work and impression that
Glen Campbell has made on our lives and careers, and the lives of others, as he battles saddening health issues."
The track was recorded in the North Pole alongside producer Mike Miller.
Dave & Whitney's "Old Toy Trains" will be available via all major digital retail outlets beginning November 24, 2015.
The dreamy, cradling holiday release, sprinkled with Dave & Whitney stardust, continues the momentum the duo has garnered since the release of its debut national EP entitled ALIBI (July 2015). The title track was officially released to radio on November 2, 2015 [CDX Vol. 623/10-5-15 / PlayMPE 10-5-15].
Without the aid or assistance of a record label or promotions team, Dave & Whitney embarked on its own radio promotion tour (coinciding with their summer show tour) "popping-in" to stations--Loretta Lynn style--one by one along the way, to introduce their single "Alibi." (The track entered the
Music Row Breakout Chart at no. 179.) As a result of their diligence and hard work, the tune is on the fast track to become one of the best-known secrets across the country.
