Background
editOriginally announced as a re-release of Walker's 2010 A Gerald Walker Christmas EP, the idea was later abandoned and seven new original songs we're then recorded. This is Gerald Walker's second Christmas-themed album mirrored after the comic strip Peanuts by Charles M. Schulz. It's Christmastime Again, Gerald Walker and his inaugural A Gerald Walker Christmas EP were named after A Charlie Brown Christmas and It's Christmastime Again, Charlie Brown respectively. This also served as Gerald Walker's third release in 2011.[1]
Singles
editThe album's first single "Christmas Everyday", produced by longtime collaborator Chemist, was also written and co-produced by Walker himself. It contained an interpolation of Fred Hammond & Radical For Christ's song of the same name and was released November 10, 2011.[2]
