Faith Hill, Joy to the World
Faith Hill, Joy to the World – A Soundstage Special Event
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 24 @ 6:00PM & 9:00PM
Working with producers Dann Huff and Byron Gallimore, engineer Allen Sides and Grammy-winning arranger David Campbell, Faith Hill has crafted a one-of-a-kind Christmas record with Joy to the World, freshly conceived yet anchored in tradition. It is a loving tribute to both the spirit and the music of Christmas, one that pays homage to the classics.
Recorded over a two-year period, the album features reworked classics along with the only original song on the track and her single, “A Baby Changes Everything.” The arrangements are diverse. From the big band orchestration of songs like “Santa Claus Is Coming To Town, “Winter Wonderland” and “Holly Jolly Christmas,” to the a cappella “The Little Drummer Boy” and the Appalachian feel of “Away In A Manger.” The CD opens with “Joy To The World,” and, says Hill, “From the very first note you hear, I wanted it to be joyous. I wanted to give you (the listener) the impression of what the song meant before a word was ever uttered.”
