Review: A WINTER GATHERING WITH KATHY MATTEA at Kennedy Center
Kathy Mattea remembers the time when she was moping around the house, worried about making “an album nobody would hear.” It was 1993 and she was making a Christmas album minus the usual holiday standards or well-known carols. Santa was nowhere to be found; jingle bells, as subject or sound effect, was absent.
