Description
This Christmas, the "First Lady of Folk" Kate Rusby gifts her fans something truly special - an exclusive and limited run Double-CD titled "20 Christmas Is Merry", a celebration of two decades of magical festive music. The album will be available only via Kate's official website and ProperMusic.com and of course on the Christmas merch table, with digital release across all major platforms.
20 Christmas Is Merry features 17 stunning live tracks recorded at several venues over the last five years. The live recordings range from the anthemic soundscape of 'Glorious' to the gentle, exquisite beauty of 'The Frost Is All Over.' Every performance glows with the spirit of a Kate Rusby Christmas. The recordings capture that unique magic -- the feeling of being at home with friends around the fire, a glass of mulled wine in hand, basking in the glow of music that feels both comforting and transcendent.
Alongside the live tracks, there are five brand-new, acoustic reworkings of Kate's most beloved Christmas songs. These intimate versions showcase her unmistakable, angelic voice in its purest form -- warm, tender, and utterly timeless.
For many, Kate's music has become the true start of Christmas -- her hugely popular festive tours and acclaimed albums have become cherished seasonal traditions, soundtracking family gatherings and cosy winter nights across the world.
20 Christmas Is Merry is both a joyful reflection on those twenty years and a sparkling reminder of why Kate Rusby remains one of the UK's most treasured voices.
