Christmas Special: Brenda Lee on the Unexpected Life of "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree"

On this Christmas special, we’re bringing back one of the most memorable BobbyCast conversations: Bobby Bones sitting down with the legendary Brenda Lee. Brenda shares what it was really like growing up in the spotlight—making her Grand Ole Opry debut at just 10 years old, then traveling to Japan as a teenager while most kids her age were still figuring out middle school.She also tells the story behind the unexpected second life of “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree,” including how Home Alone helped introduce the song to a whole new generation—and why she never imagined it would become her signature holiday hit. Plus, Brenda takes Bobby through some true music-history moments: meeting Elvis, spending time around Patsy Cline, and what it feels like listening back to the recordings she made when she was still a kid.
