The Lumineers are donating all proceeds from their re-work of classic Christmas record “Blue Christmas’. The band’s founder Wesley Schultz said, “I grew up listening to Willie Nelson's Xmas album Pretty Paper and this was always my favourite song on it. Of any Christmas song out there, this one stands out to me as a truly good song, Christmas or not. All proceeds from our cover will be donated to Cool Earth, an organisation that works alongside indigenous villages to halt rainforest destruction.”
