Music reviews of Good News
Music Review: The Gospel Truth (Good News)
Rating: 5 Stars
After reading the other reviews, I didn't think another was necessary-but I have had to share my thoughts anyway.
Before Christmas albums became so commonplace, I believe you saw a lot of country artists give homage to the Christmas Season, mostly of a sacred persuasion, via a seasonal recording for fans. Country artists back in the 60's and 70's tended to have the most stable fan bases and,mind you,I cut my teeth in radio at country stations-though I would have preferred to be playing pop and rock. Johnny Cash,Elvis Presley, and Amy Grant's Christmas recordings affected me the most-until this one. Kathy has created a veritable genre defying gem of a Christmas album-and in an era of "Praise and Worship" recordings it is astonishing. Focusing on the Nativity, Kathy brings the awe and wonder of the season into sharp focus. Not a prolific writer, but a great interpreter of song, Kathy's voice and her humilty and faith shine through on this Christmas Classic. Put on the recording, light the tree-or candles- and push aside the cares of the day. Listen to the lyrics and the wonderful arrangements that permeate this recording. You cannot help but be moved to welcome the King of Glory into the world and into your heart.
I admit I am prejudiced-but I prefer Kathy's "Mary Did You Know" to anyone's interp. And anyone who purchases this recording for that one song will be blessed many times over. In a time when Christian artists Christmas offerings have become more secular and commercial, here's a gem of rustic beauty that is as close to a Nativity Worship Project that you will find. If you like "Good News" you will need to find a copy of "Joy for Christmas Day". I prefer "Good News" to "Joy"-but "JOy" is a worthy recording, too.
If you are looking to add one good holiday recording to your library and do not have "Good News" -your collection is not complete-and you are missing a truly heart-warming Christmas experience. And-by the way-if you go to Kathy's official site, get the Good News Live concert DVD if it is still available-a live concert of the best of both Christmas projects that is a great family holiday experience.
