Being in the studio and listening to him play so effortlessly over and over really challenged me to be my best. I’m so excited for people to hear this!”

“I got a good dose of that warm southern hospitality from the folks from Black River Records and the Nashville country music community, and performing with Kelsea Ballerini was amazing,” adds Joey. “I’m really proud of the work we’ve done and excited to share our new holiday single with the world.”

“My Favorite Things” will be available digitally on Nov. 25 but you can catch the duo performing the classic on CMA Country Christmas, which airs Nov. 28, 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
