Kick off your holiday season with a daughter of Nashville royalty performing some of her favorite (and probably your favorite too) holiday songs. Lorrie Morgan’s Enchanted Christmas! features a variety of classic festive tunes, carols along with some of her own top hits and stories from her iconic career. Daughter of Country Music Hall of Fame member and former member of the Grand Ole Opry, George Morgan, Lorrie has developed a following all her own and is known as one of the most eloquently emotive country vocalists today.
Morgan’s journey in the music industry began at a young age when she made her Opry debut at 13 and later became the youngest member to be inducted into the Grand Ole Opry at only 24 years old. Morgan’s music follows in the footsteps of artists like Reba McEntire and pays homage to legends like Tammy Wynette through her music and style. She is at once tender and soulful, and the next minute, a modern-day torch singer, putting her special vocal touch on familiar favorites.
Over the years, she navigated the ups and downs of the industry, cementing her legacy as a resilient country artist with hits and collaborations spanning several decades. Morgan eventually took over her father’s band after his passing. She enjoyed a string of hits between 1989 and 1997, including chart-toppers like “Five Minutes,” “What Part of No” and “I Didn’t Know My Own Strength.” After her chart success waned in the 2000s, Morgan continued her career on independent labels.
“Where I am in my life right now, I’m not afraid to express what I feel, or what I don’t feel,” Morgan said when asked about her recent album. “I’m not afraid to express my views on anything, especially on being a woman. I have been a daughter, a bride, a mother, a divorcee, a widow, a single mother, a breadwinner and, ultimately, a survivor. In many ways, I am a living, breathing country song, and I know what I sing.”
