Good News

Good News

Kathy Mattea's lovely, strong vocals, coupled with uplifting arrangements, make <i>Good News</i> an especially rich and deep spiritual testament. "There's a New Kid in Town" is the highpoint of this 1993 outing, but "Christ Child's Lullaby" and the title track really showcase the soulful and smart Mattea. In time, this might prove to be a seasonal country classic. <i>--Martin Keller</i>
