Cheap Trick Plans to Release a Christmas Album This Year

Cheap Trick recently finished recording a Christmas album, expected to be released later this year.

Bassist Tom Petersson revealed in a recent interview with Orange Amps centered on the 40th anniversary of Cheap Trick's first album that the band completed work on a holiday LP "about two months ago."

"We did one standards," he says, "and then all sorts of different songs on there. It's really cool."

Petersson said the band had a lot of fun making the record, but it wasn't without its challenges.

"The only confusing thing about recording this record, is that every song had the word Christmas in it, so we could never keep it straight during recording, trying to figure out which song was which; ‘Ok guys so let’s do the Christm…the sleigh song next.’"

While he didn't mention what the name of the album is, he said it will probably come out around Halloween.

This won't be the band's first try at Christmas music. Cheap Trick released "I Want You For Christmas," a kind of Christmasification of one of its biggest hits, in 2012 as part of a benefit for the Special Olympics.

Years earlier, Cheap Trick  released holiday singles "Come on Christmas" and "Christmas Christmas."
