Paul Lancaster, tenor of The Guardians Quartet, is excited about the release of their new holiday album, Christmas With The Guardians. Among the standout moments on the record is a duet that holds special meaning for him personally.

Speaking about the track, Lancaster shared his enthusiasm for the song Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas. The duet features his son, and the close similarity in their voices has drawn attention. “People tell me that the DNA sounds so similar on this thing that it’s hard to tell which one of us is which,” Lancaster said.

The song carries emotional significance for Lancaster, as it serves as a tribute to his late wife. “She would be thrilled to death with this,” he reflected. “She didn’t get excited about much—maybe a good sale at Macy’s—but her kids, right, and her kids.”

The album, released under the Daywind music label, includes a mix of classic and original Christmas songs. The full track list features:

• Do You Hear What I Hear?
• I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day
• Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
• Go Tell It on the Mountain
• O Holy Night
• Sweet Kentucky Christmas
• If It’s Christmas

Fans of The Guardians Quartet can expect a blend of traditional Christmas spirit and heartfelt moments on this new release.
