Neil Jacobson Releases 'It's Thanksgiving Time' Single

Neil Jacobson, musician and songwriter, has always enjoyed the traditional holiday tunes that were part of his childhood. Although he has written and recorded many songs, it’s been a dream of his to compose the ultimate holiday standard. This dream is finally realized with the completion of "It's Thanksgiving Time," a new holiday classic.

"There are many songs about the holidays, but nothing definitive has been written for one of the warmest and most celebrated of American occasions, Thanksgiving. I want to bring the good feeling it embodies to the forefront because I believe that music has a very profound effect on all people and all cultures. It has the power to change people's minds in a time that really needs positive messages of hope, togetherness, and love. 'It's Thanksgiving Time' is written in the style of the classic timeless, songs that form the soundtrack to our enjoyment of the holidays. It is composed in a manner that is open to different interpretations and performances. I look forward to other artists' personalizations of the song and to their giving voice to it for audiences around the world." —Neil Jacobson
