Kathy Mattea’s 1993 offering GOOD NEWS became an instant holiday classic — showcasing her warm and heartfelt vocals, sincerity, and unmatched style.

JOY FOR CHRISTMAS DAY is sure to become another treasured favorite with a festive mix of traditional carols and new songs celebrating the season. It is music for the soul and the season.

"This collection of songs represents for me an arc of time, a bridge over many years of work.

The project began as a gentle prodding from Bill, encouraging me to explore some original Christmas arrangements to add to our touring show around
GOOD NEWS. Some of the songs we’ve been doing
for a long time, like old friends, others are fresh and new.

Many of the arrangements evolved over years, with input from so many musicians. I am profoundly grateful for the gift of these generous collaborators, especially Bill, Ed, Mick, Jon and Marc… and their loving way of gently pushing me to find and express parts of myself I would simply be too lazy to explore on my own.

Oh, yeah. The last voice on the record is my Dad."

- Kathy
