When most people imagine the holidays, it’s with sweeping white hills of fresh snow and icicles dangling from the sides of buildings. “The New Kid in Town” by Randy Travis and Drew Parker gives a country spin to the holidays.
Randy Travis, a legendary voice of country music, is joined in this holiday song by up-and-coming country music star Drew Parker.
When their deep, resonant voices come together, the result is absolutely breathtaking. Even if you aren’t a super fan of country music, it’s impossible not to appreciate the harmony the two of them create.
At first, “There’s a New Kid in Town” seems to be just another country song, albeit a beautiful one. A slow acoustic guitar strums out the melody as Drew Parker drives his truck across down the lonely country roads.
Then the song shifts into a religious tone, and the song’s title becomes apparent. “We’re looking for the king,” Randy Travis sings. “A New Messiah.” The new kid in town is Jesus.
The images transition to a quaint home overlooking rolling green pastures as the slow song continues. Accompanied by the calming voices of these two talented musicians, the scene begins to wrap around you like a cozy blanket.
We mean it when we say this is a country song for everyone. Whether you’re religious or not, “There’s a New Kid in Town” is sure to fill you with a sense of holiday nostalgia and warm winter nights.
