Country Rock musician and American expat, Rita de Los Angeles releases her first full-length album, Americana Christmas on all streaming platforms. The holiday album is a musical celebration featuring a melting pot of diverse American styles: Country, Blues, Jazz, Latin American and good old-fashion Rock ‘n Roll.

	Americana Christmas includes 13 tracks featuring popular holiday songs and one original song called “Ugly Christmas Tree.”  The song is inspired by a 2019 visit to the Christmas tree lot with her seven-year-old son who decided to pick the ugliest tree on the lot.  Rita recalls, “It had brown needles from the summer drought and was short and crooked.  “When I asked him why he picked that particular tree,” he answered, “Because I know nobody will pick that tree because it’s so sad looking. It made me feel bad for the tree.”  Rita adds, “I felt so touched by my son’s compassion, that it gave me hope for humanity and inspired me to write this song.” 
 
	12 Holiday cover songs include: Jingle Bells, Santa Claus Is Coming to Town, Last Christmas, Blue Christmas, Santa Baby, Run Run Rudolph, Let It Snow, Please Come Home for Christmas, Feliz Navidad, Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas, White Christmas, Silent Night. All vocals and guitar parts performed by Rita de Los Angeles.  The album is produced and engineered by Rita de Los Angeles and is 39 Minutes in length.  Cover art by Elena Ploetz (https://www.elena-ploetz.net).

I wrote the song after playing a gig of mostly linedance music all night.  At the end, I remember playing a few ballads.  It was wonderful to see all of these ‘in love’ couples slow dancing to the songs I was singing. In fact, it was downright sexy.  It made me miss my wife who was traveling thousands of miles away.  Inspired by all the sexy people on the dance floor, I went home and wrote the lyrics while pining over my wife, who coincidentally does not like to slow dance.  I guess you can say, I was fantasizing that she would come home from her trip and slow dance with me on a Friday night.

I hope the song inspires you to add a little Slowing Dancing in your life with the one you love.
