Soul great Percy Sledge has told AOL's Spinner.com that he will be entering the studio in the spring to record two new albums for the 2011 holiday season, a gospel/spiritual album and an album of more standard, pop-oriented Christmas songs.
Sledge told Spinner "I've got letters for years and years about doing a Christmas album and a spiritual album. I'm going to let my kids sing on the spiritual album. On my Christmas album, I'm going to have a producer out of Muscle Shoals do it. I'm going to try to get one of my old producers because they know me so well."
"I've got a big selection. I'm so excited. I can't wait to get in there and do this," Sledge commented about the standards album which he said could include Blue Christmas, The Christmas Song and White Christmas.
Sledge has been relatively quiet over the last twenty years, releasing only Blue Night (1994) and Shining Through the Rain 2004.
