The Guardians are spreading holiday cheer this season with their latest release, “Christmas With The Guardians.” The new project features a particularly touching moment that brings together two generations of musical talent.
Group member Paul Lancaster shares a special duet with his son on the classic holiday favorite “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.” What makes this collaboration particularly remarkable is the striking vocal similarity between father and son. According to Lancaster, listeners have commented that the genetic connection is so evident in their voices that it’s often difficult to distinguish between the two singers.
“I love it, I just love Christmas,” Lancaster enthusiastically shares. “My son is on a duet with me and people tell me that the DNA sounds so similar on this thing that it’s hard to tell which one of us is which.”
The recording holds deep emotional significance for Lancaster, who reflects on how his late wife would have reacted to this musical partnership. “She would be thrilled to death,” he remembers warmly, noting that while his wife wasn’t easily excited by most things – “maybe a good sale at Macy’s” – she was always passionate about her children’s accomplishments.
This heartwarming collaboration serves as both a musical highlight of the album and a touching tribute to family bonds during the holiday season.
