Song #8: Joy to the World
Patty Loveless
Loveless’ Bluegrass and White Snow is one of the best Christmas albums around and a staple of my holiday soundtrack. This song boasts background vocals from Jon Randall and Emmylou Harris, which proves that if you want to make a great song even better, get Emmylou to sing on it. – Sam
Drew Holcomb and the Neighbors
I am not familiar with Drew Holcomb and the Neighbors outside of the Christmas album on which this song can be found, but I can say that the album is a mix of fun and warmth and this song is just one example of that. – Leeann
I am with you on the Patty pick! Emmylou is what really cements it for me!!
I’d probably go with Connie Smith’s recording from years back
