Cee Lo Green Christmas album "the real deal"; Rod Stewart, B.o.B. and Straight No Chaser are featured artists

Cee Lo Green is a busy man. In addition to his coaching gig on "The Voice," the singer-rapper is acting, developing a sitcom for NBC, writing a book and readying the release for his upcoming Christmas album.

The Grammy winner calls "Cee Lo's Magic Moment" "the real deal" and describes it as "a soulful take on a host of Christmas classics."

The holiday tunes include "Silent Night," "The Christmas Song," "This Christmas," "You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch" and "White Christmas."

Rod Stewart, B.o.B. and Straight No Chaser are among the featured artists sharing the holiday spirit on the new album.

"Cee Lo's Magic Moment" is slated for an Oct. 30 release, just as Christmas merchandise is replacing Halloween decorations on the retail shelves.
