Merry Christmas???
Faith Hill's Christmas Album Releases September 16th
Two Years In The Making
The much rumored, highly anticipated Christmas album from 5-time Grammy Award winner Faith Hill will bring Joy To The World on Tuesday, September 16th.
The 11-song CD, which was 2 years in the making, features The Nashville Orchestra as well as the London-based choirs Metro Voices and The London Oratory School Boys Choir.
Grammy Award winner David Campbell (Paul McCartney, Rolling Stones, Johnny Cash, Beyonce) provides a newly composed full orchestration for Joy, which gives such classics as Santa Claus Is Coming To Town, Little Drummer Boy, Winter Wonderland and Holly Jolly Christmas a fresh, unique and, at times, big band groove.
"I had a very clear vision for the type of Christmas album that I wanted to make,” said Faith. “Indicative of the big band orchestras of the 40s and 50s, with a full compliment of horns, stings, woodwinds, percussion and chorales. David's orchestrations were a gift. They embodied everything that I could have imaged; unique and beautiful, and yet they seem as though they were always intended for these songs."
... Weird, finally get some sunshine, and we're already talking Christmas?
