Today’s entry features a festive power-duet bringing together two of hard rock’s most powerful voices. We are examining the 2023 Limited Edition 12-inch single The Magic Of Christmas Day by Dee Snider and Lzzy Hale, released by BFD with the catalog number BFD564.

A Generational Rock Alliance

Released on September 29, 2023, this single sees Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider joining forces with Lzzy Hale of Halestorm for a high-energy holiday anthem. Written by Snider, the track is backed by a stellar lineup of rock veterans. It was produced by Jeff Pilson (best known for his work with Dokken and Foreigner), who also performs duties on guitar, bass, and keyboards. The rhythm section is rounded out by drummer Brian Tichy (Whitesnake, Foreigner). The record features both the Album Version and an Instrumental version of the track.
