The song hits the airwaves Thursday. "The Christmas Shoes" was written by New Song members Eddie Carswell and Leonard Ablstrom. It was produced by Wayne Kirkpatrick and Gordon Kennedy, who co-wrote Eric Clapton's Grammy-winning song "Change the World." "The Christmas Shoes" is an inspiring song about the giving spirit of the Christmas season. Coincidently, it was recorded in Nashville on Sept. 11, and its message became even more important with the new turn in our world's events.
