The mere mention of Christmas immediately brings to mind the sounds of the season. Music always plays such an integral part in the celebration and everyone has their favorite songs. The members of award-winning country band Diamond Rio are no exception. That's why their new album, A Diamond Rio Christmas: The Star Still Shines is such a labor of love.
