NASHVILLE, TN (August 24, 2006) -- Dean Martin's Christmas With Dino is a holiday classic, and to make this year's yuletide especially bright, the 16-track CD has been expanded with a new duet with country music superstar, Martina McBride.  The new duet of "Baby, It's Cold Outside," was recorded at Capitol Studios in Hollywood, California, the same studio where Martin cut his original version of the song in 1959.  Christmas With Dino will be released September 12. 

 

"There's something about hearing a Dean Martin holiday song," says McBride.  "You think, OK, it's time to start the season, it's Christmas time!  That's definitely how I feel."

 

"Baby, It's Cold Outside," captures all the warmth and romance of the holiday season, with McBride's coy protests answering Martin's smooth advances.  The result is a magical collaboration in a pairing that is at once classic while thoroughly modern.

 

"It's an honor to be able to be a part of this," reveals McBride. "Dean had such a great voice, and to be able to sing with him all these years later is a thrill." 

 

Martina McBride will perform the new "Baby, It's Cold Outside," duet during her Joy of Christmas tour, now in its fourth year.  The 16-city tour kicks off in Chicago on November 24 and runs through December 22.
