The 22-song double album travels across the centuries, from a Latin hymn to well-known carols, from a traditional Irish folk ballad to songs with an unmistakable local flavour, and a sparkling new version of one of the greatest Australian Christmas songs of them all, Kelly’s own ‘How To Make Gravy’ recorded 25 years after its initial release.
On board Paul Kelly’s Christmas Train album is Paul Kelly and his band with vocalists Marlon Williams, Emma Donovan, Kasey Chambers, Kate Miller-Heidke, Vika & Linda Bull, Waleed Aly, Lior, Alice Keath, Sime Nugent, Alma Zygier, Emily Lubitz, Jess Hitchcock and Dhungala Children’s Choir; and contributions from the Kelly clan including nephew and band-mate Dan, siblings Mary-Jo and Tony, and Paul’s daughters Maddy and Memphis Kelly.
