Christmas Means Love

Joan Osborne

A soulful, blues-drenched holiday collection. Osborne’s raspy, weathered voice brings grit and genuine warmth to classic carols and R&B-leaning seasonal deep cuts.

It's the Christmas album for people who'd rather be at a blues club than a midnight mass.

A warm, soulful embrace that finds the bluesy heart within holiday traditions.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The swampy, blues-inflected groove that transforms Christmas in New Orleans into a soulful strut.
The hushed, intimate delivery of Away in a Manger that strips away the saccharine for something deeply human.
The rhythmic, hand-clapped energy of Children Go Where I Send Thee that brings a revival-tent spirit to the record.
