5.0 out of 5 stars The most moving collection of true Christmas songs ever!, January 5, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Good News (Audio CD)

One Sunday morning I woke to "Mary, Did You Know," and immediately began to search for this album. The chills generated by the line, "Mary did you know when you kissed your little baby then you kissed the face of God" are still there everytime I listen to it. I didn't realize what a wonderful voice Kathy Mattea had until exposed to this music. The selection of songs is superb, most of which I had never heard. Every family should have a copy, it might help them appreciate more the most perfect gift God gave to the world, and the gift of music and talented artists such as are embodied in this presentation. It will certainly be on my gift list for family and friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite Christmas Album, November 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Good News (Audio Cassette)

I bought this CD after hearing Kathy Mattea sing "Mary Did You Know" on a Whitehouse Christmas Celebration on television. I could not forget the song so I tracked down the album and was thrilled with it. Every song on the album is wonderful. I can listen to it year round. The songs have so much meaning and really touch my heart. I would recommend this album for Kathy Mattea fans and for anyone who loves Christian Christmas music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good News Indeed!, November 28, 2000

Kathy Mattea's 1993 Christmas album is an amazing piece of work. Unlike most Christmas albums with a mix of old and new songs, Good News has a theme which it follows throughout. There is nothing cute or cuddly about this album, but don't let that scare you away because it's one of the best modern albums of its kind around. Each song on the album illustrates the impact Christ's life has made in the world, and it is indeed, good news! From "What A Wonderful Beginning" to the title track, "Good News," the music, lyrics, and arrangements are exemplary. Mattea, known best as a country music singer, proves she's an artist of great depth with this project. Good News deserves to part of your Christmas music collection.
