Liz Terrell - A Christmas in Black and White

Liner Notes

From Liz & Roy

Merry Christmas everyone!

This album came as a response to a really fun idea we had to do a music video countdown to Christmas (our mutual FAVORITE holiday and favorite time of the year for music!). “Liz and Roy’s Christmas Carol Countdown” launched in December of 2016, and the response was absolutely overwhelming! Each video received hundreds and thousands of views, and over the next year family, friends, and fans new and old continued to ask when we were going to make an album. Through the busyness of our schedules, and Liz releasing her own solo EP, we finally buckled down and decided to put a Christmas album into motion, and we are proud to present to you: A Christmas in Black and White!

Thank You's

From Roy:

To my family near and far, thank you for being the biggest fans and greatest supporters. To My friends around the WORLD, you have embraced all the crazy adventures I’ve been on and now you get to take it with you wherever you go. To Liz, though our schedules are insane, and our lives are crazier our love for music and the arts never wavers. It’s an honor, privilege, and thrill to be on the bandstand with you whenever we have the time to work it out. Here’s to a tour, and playing our favorite stages one day with our own crew so we don't have to lug our own stuff! Jeremiah 29:11. Thank you God for the gifts you’ve given and allowed me to share. This album is for The Santucci Family, The Hoelle Family and the Mussolino Family, may you find peace, and feel loved this holiday season.

From Liz:

Johnny, you are so amazingly supportive, thank you for making this record all that it could be! Roy, my dear friend, it is always a joy to create music with you, and I’m SO glad our first record together was CHRISTMAS MUSIC! To my family, friends, fans, and all who listen to this album; I hope these songs inspire your holiday spirit and I hope that while you listen to this record it feels like a Christmas concert right in your home! Happy Holidays to you all!
