(Nashville, Tennessee...) - November 30, 2017 - Piano virtuoso Kory Caudill released his Christmas With Kory Caudill & Friends earlier this month, and his original song, "Sleepy Little Baby Boy," was made available to radio today. Caudill wrote the song with newcomer and fellow Eastern Kentuckian Josh Martin who is also featured on the song's vocals. The touching single is available to all radio outlets via PlayMPE, and the simple, yet moving music video can be viewed here.
"'Sleepy Little Baby Boy' is a lullaby Josh and I wrote from Joseph's perspective," said Caudill. "Last Christmas, my family and I heard an interesting sermon on Joseph. The priest highlighted how overwhelming it would have been for a young man to be entrusted with overseeing the Son of God's earthly experience. As a father-to-be for the first time, I'm scared for my daughter's first runny nose, so I can't imagine the things that would be going through a young Joseph's mind as he prepared to raise his son."
