Elvis Christmas Duets Album.

Rumor has it that an Elvis duets album may be in the works with BMG. The original idea is said to have come from Joe Guercio but another producer took the idea to BMG. Which crushed Joe.

The concept is said to be Elvis singing primarily with female singers for a Christmas album.

Note: Read more exclusive and in depth information on this project soon in the next Elvis Unlimited magazine.

Elvis Christmas Duets Album in the works - Update.


Apparently the 'Christmas 'Duets' Album will come to fruition for December 2008.

It may be that different artists are used in different countries. In the UK a single release from the album is currently being considered also.

The original arrangements have been kept and the album produced mainly in Nashville.

The Christmas 'Duets' album should prove to be a winner, especially in the UK. As we all know Sony BMG usually release albums around the time of Elvis Anniversaries e.g. January and August but these are times of low sales.

Christmas time is the highest period for sales and should be good for The King (and Sony BMG).

This 'Duets' album is not to be confused with the other 'Duets' album.

That will be more radical as far as backings and arrangements are concerned. That is tentatively scheduled for 2009.
