'Appalachia is the original melting pot of our country, featuring more diverse styles of American music than just about anywhere,'' O'Connor says.
'This theme makes for what is a trilogy of my Appalachia recordings now: Appalachia Waltz, Appalachian Journey, and An Appalachian Christmas.
My new album features 11 Christmas tracks, as well as several Appalachian-themed songs about a beloved hunting dog, passing a fiddle down through the generations, and offering a new version of 'Appalachia Waltz' itself with classical guitarist Sharon Isbin, one of my most well-known pieces.
A few of my favorite Christmas centerpieces for the album include Renee Fleming’s soprano embraced by a mountain orchestra and fiddle solo, as well as the jazzy style of Jane Monheit with an all-acoustic string band.
