The marketing department at Warner Brothers must have really wanted to get a jump on the holiday season when they released Faith Hill`s 2008 Christmas album, JOY TO THE WORLD, in September. Hill`s set of carols and traditional songs may not suit the late summer, but that doesn`t make JOY TO THE WORLD any less of a treat. As albums like BREATHE and FIREFLIES proved, Hill has no problem crossing over to mainstream audiences, and this Christmas set (the singer`s first) should strengthen that appeal. If the song selection itself isn`t surprising--including the usual fare like "What Child is This," "O Come All Ye Faithful," and "Silent Night"--the arrangements are. A large orchestra, featuring brass, strings, reeds, percussion, and two different choirs, give these renditions a full, sweeping flavor reminiscent of the big bands of the 1940s and `50s. The album also includes an original single, "A Baby Changes Everything," which features one of Hill`s most compelling performances.
