'Gold and Green' brings holiday season

Albums like “Twice the Speed of Life” and “Enjoy the Ride” catapulted country duo Sugarland to superstar status. So after making award-winning albums and touring the country to sold-out crowds, what’s a band to do?

Well, like most superstar artists, they decided to make a holiday album.

“Gold and Green” is Sugarland’s latest release, and it’s all about the classics, from “Silent Night” to “Winter Wonderland,” and the sound is still 100 percent original.

The country twang may sound strange put to such familiar tunes, but if you like Sugarland’s sound you will love this album.

“City of Silver Dreams,” one of the original songs on the album, is sure to be a hit on the country charts this season. The album’s title song, “Gold and Green,” is the most mellow on the album, which gives it depth beyond oversung carols.

Overall, the sound this album produced was true to the group; the classics and the original songs mesh well, creating an album sure to fill you up with holiday spirit.
