This week, we continue with more great Christmas releases.

Produced by Dan Huff, Byron Gallimore and Faith Hill herself, Joy To The World combines the holiday season’s most beloved classics with one of America’s most respected vocalists.

Well worth the two years in the making, the recording 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) provides a newly composed full orchestration for Joy, which gives classics such as “Joy To The World”, “Away In A Manger”, “O Holy Night” and “Silent Night” a fresh, yet timeless sound. The highlight of the album is the original song, “A Baby Changes Everything”. This powerful and emotional story song will be the lead single to Country and Christian radio during the Christmas season.

Stratford singer-songwriter Ali Matthews has released four multi-award-winning CDs and has gained a strong following across Canada and beyond. She has received seven GMA Canada Covenant Awards and 19 nominations in five years. Her song-writing has received international acclaim in both the mainstream and Christian industries.

Her latest project, Looking For Christmas, is a follow-up to her successful Christmas CD, On Angels’ Wings. With the same warm, rich pallet of sounds, the music provides a soothing seasonal soundtrack for any music lover. The CD features Ali’s softly soaring soprano accompanied by the trademark liquid guitar of her musical partner, Rick Francis along with a plush assortment of stellar instrumentation. Other musicians on the album include Jacob Moon (vocals), Don Reed (fiddle), Joy Brown (piano), Jim Wilde (piano), and others.

Blending traditional with contemporary and originals with familiar classics, the CD covers a wide range of styles from folk and jazz to bluegrass and Celtic. This 16 song collection captures the wonder and mystery of the Christmas season with the warmth and honesty inherent through all of Matthew’s music.

The CD is specially priced at $14.99 or less.

Both albums are now available at your local Canadian Christian retailer. Keep track of all the new and upcoming releases via your own personal copy of the December New Music Tuesday and New Christmas Music poster. Head over to HearItFirst.ca to hear these new holiday releases.
