Stephanie Urbina Jones makes country-mariachi Christmas magic again with her latest single and lyric video, “All I Want for Christmas is You (Todo Lo Que Quiero Eres Tu).” The single releases
worldwide Friday, December 6. This honky tonk mariachi rendition of
Mariah Carey’s holiday classic swings with the rhythm of traditional
mariachi, and prominent pedal steel guitar lines blend with violin to
create a nostalgic honky tonk feel just in time for the holidays.
The track, produced and arranged by Patterson Barrett, was recorded by
Imagine Recordings at Sound Stage Studios in Nashville and released by
Casa Del Rio Records. Urbina Jones’ signature honky tonk mariachi sound
is on full display in the song, with featured instruments like the
guitarrón, trumpetas, vihuela, violins. The track also features Steve
Fishell on pedal steel guitar.
When
it comes to celebrating the holiday spirit, this isn’t Urbina Jones’
first rodeo. Last year, she released her honky tonk mariachi single, “Merriachi Christmas.” In 2015, she released a Christmas album, Feliz Navidad, Y’all, that featured a mariachi version of “Feliz Navidad,“ as well as 11 other Christmas classics.
Last year, Urbina Jones released her latest studio album, Tularosa, an inspired marriage of country classics and mariachi rhythms named for the place where it was recorded. Tularosa
honors Urbina Jones’ musical icons — a string of legends from Dolly,
Patsy, Willie, and Merle to Johnny and June — and the Mexican heritage
that feeds her sound and soul. “Stephanie Urbina Jones is a true
visionary, for who else would have thought of marrying classic country
with mariachi,” says LA Music Critic. “She has brought new life
to these amazing classic country hits—this one belongs in the
collection of every lover of classic country.”
