“The offer of ‘food and fun’ was all it took to entice Kid Rock, Tanya Tucker, Gretchen Wilson, Jeannie Seely, and a Waffle House restaurant full of ‘brand new friends’ to join us for the recent filming of our new video, ‘Waffle House Christmas,’” Bill Anderson tells PEOPLE.
“We dined on Waffle House staples … grits and eggs and raisin bread along with hash browns covered and smothered,” Anderson tells PEOPLE.
“We laughed ourselves silly portraying the take-over of a Waffle House restaurant by a rookie cook and a displaced family on Christmas Day.”
“I am so grateful that I was asked to be involved in something like this. I’ve been such a fan of Bill Anderson for so long,” Gretchen Wilson tells PEOPLE.
“I’ve never had this much fun at a Waffle House! Bill Anderson is one of my heroes and he’s written some of the greatest songs of all time,” Tanya Tucker tells PEOPLE.
“Of course, only he could come up with such a clever song like ‘Waffle House Christmas!’
The musician manned the grill for the video, shot recently in Nashville.
“We had such a blast behind the scenes with Kid Rock, Gretchen Wilson and Jeannie Seely,” Tucker adds.
“I get to hang out with my heroes! I also had a Waffle House uniform in my closet from a television special we did several years ago,” Wilson says.
“This has been an amazing experience! Bill Anderson is always coming up with great ideas,” Jeannie Seely tells PEOPLE.
“And corralling me, Tanya, Gretchen and Kid Rock all together for a music video at Waffle House has got to be one of the silliest, most fun things I’ve done in a long time!”
Anderson adds, “My thanks to everyone involved. I just hope you will enjoy watching the madness as much as we enjoyed creating it.”
