Chris Young is getting by with a little help from his musical friends on his forthcoming It Must Be Christmas album. The country singer has released the track listing to the holiday themed record, and it includes features from Brad Paisley, Alan Jackson and Boyz II Men.

Jackson will assist on “There’s a New Kid in Town,” which originally appeared on the country icon's first Christmas album in 1993, as a duet with Keith Whitley. Meanwhile, Paisley joins Young on “The First Noel” and Boyz II Men sing on “Silent Night.” Additionally, Young co-wrote two original Christmas songs for the project, including “Under the Weather” and the title track, “It Must Be Christmas.”

“This is something I’ve wanted to do for a really long time,” the singer explains in a press release. “Christmas is one of my favorite times of year and it was hard to narrow down the list of songs for this record. I’m excited to share my own versions of many of the standards I sang as a kid every year at Christmas, plus I had the opportunity to write a couple of original songs to celebrate the season.”

Young’s album, It Must Be Christmas, will be released on Oct. 14.
