Um...this man has been singing for quite some time now...and...in all honesty...NEEDS TO SING EVEN MORE!  His voice is still sheer perfection and his new Christmas Album is FANTASTIC!  I have had it on repeat in my car since I downloaded it.  Besides being mega talented, he is also just so sweet and down to earth.  I had such a great time chatting with him about music and the reason that this album is so special to him.  Seriously...go download the album. :)

MICKEY THOMAS CELEBRATES THE HOLIDAYS WITH THE RELEASE OF A CLASSIC CHRISTMAS

Music legend Mickey Thomas, known for his unforgettable vocals on Starship hits and Elvin Bishop's timeless classic "Fooled Around and Fell in Love," released his first Christmas album, "A Classic Christmas," on November 15. With an illustrious career spanning decades, Thomas delivers soulful and nostalgic renditions of beloved holiday songs, bringing a fresh, heartfelt approach to festive classics that fans old and new can enjoy. "A Classic Christmas" is now available on all streaming platforms.

Also available on vinyl and CD at StarshipControl.com.

"I've always wanted to record a Christmas album, and this is the fulfillment of that dream," Thomas shares. "These songs are the soundtrack to my own childhood holidays, and I wanted to stay true to the originals while putting my own spin on the vocals. I hope listeners feel the same warmth and nostalgia I did while recording it."

Known worldwide for his soaring voice on Starship's "We Built This City," "Sara," and "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now," Thomas also brought Jefferson Starship fans timeless rock anthems like "Jane," "No Way Out," "Stranger," "Find Your Way Back," and "Layin' It On The Line." His tenure as lead singer for The Elvin Bishop Band produced the 1976 hit "Fooled Around and Fell in Love," a track many don't realize was driven by Thomas' powerful, soulful vocals. Now, his journey through rock's greatest hits continues with a holiday twist in 'A Classic Christmas.'

The album, produced by Dan Frizsell and recorded in Nashville, showcases Thomas's iconic voice on cherished holiday tunes, including "White Christmas," "The Christmas Song," and "Silver Bells."
