Diamond Rio: Marty Roe (vocals); Gene Johnson (tenor, mandolin); Dana Williams (baritone, bass guitar); Jimmy Olander (acoustic guitar, electric guitar, banjo, programming); Dan Truman (piano, keyboards); Brian Prout (drums).
Maintaining their position as one of the most popular bands in country music since the heyday of Alabama, Diamond Rio release their first Christmas album, THE STAR STILL SHINES: A DIAMOND RIO CHRISTMAS. Starting off with the band-penned title track, the set then glides into more familiar territory with popular standards such as "The Christmas Song" and "I'll Be Home for Christmas." Somewhat surprisingly, they finish the set with an instrumental from Vince Guaraldi's classic score for the television special A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS.
