 Faith HillJoy to the World Release Date 2008 09 30 Label Warner Bros. Rating:  Faith Hill's holiday album Joy to the World is a proudly old-fashioned record -- almost too much so, really, as there is nothing surprising about it, from its collection of shopworn standards to the full-blown yet curiously stiff production. Basically, this is an album where if you read the title, you will know how the song will sound: &"Joy to the World" gets a big, bombastic, orchestral arrangement appropriate for a concert recital, &"Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" swings like Sinatra conducted by Billy May, &"Little Drummer Boy" is prim and proper, &"Holly Jolly Christmas" feels pulled from Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, &"Away in a Manger" is sweet and stately. Everything is business as usual, right down to Hill's performances: big, not blustery; they're immaculate theater, sometimes verging on grandstanding but often suited for the occasion. Which might not make Joy to the World a singular holiday album in any respect -- it's too pat and perfect to be memorable -- but for anybody looking for a new old-fashioned Christmas album, this suits the bill just fine.
