Eric Clapton has released a new video for his take on the classic holiday tune “White Christmas”. The track is featured on the guitarist’s recently released and first-ever Christmas album, Happy Xmas. Watch “White Christmas” in the video player below.
Happy Xmas mixes recognizable holiday classics such as “White Christmas” with lesser-known unique titles, as well as a new Clapton original, “For Love On Christmas Day.”
“I had in my head that these holiday songs could be done with a slight blues tinge, and I started to figure out how to play the blues lines in between the vocals,” said Clapton, who co-produced the album with longtime music producer Simon Climie. “I got it down and one of the most identifiable songs on the album, the one that became the foundational style, is ‘Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas’.”
Happy Xmas also features cover art illustration by Clapton himself.
