"I need to make a record for a group of people of one. I need to let one know individual 'Cheerful Christmas' and I need to will to stay there in the bitterness as well." Her new occasion record, "Tennessee Christmas," which has come to No. 3 on Billboard's Holiday Album graph, incorporates a few non-conventional yuletide tunes: "Despairing Christmas," ''Another Merry Christmas," and "December." The verses address individuals who have nobody to converse with, who have lost friends and family or who have attempted to endure the year.

"My objective with this record is I am making it safe to state, 'I am separated from everyone else,'" Grant said. Be that as it may, not everybody is an aficionado of her grave way to deal with occasion music. LifeWay Christian Resources, the national retail arm of the Southern Baptist Convention, chose not to stock the record.
