6 years in and A Joyful Sound is entering the rotation of many classic soulful Holiday albums. With an all-star supporting cast of who’s who from the contemporary soul scene this record is truly a family affair with Kelly at the wheel. Featuring members of Durand Jones & The Indications, The Dap-Kings, Ghost Funk Orchestra, Monophonics, Thee Sinseers, Orgone, Ikebe Shakedown, Jason Joshua & The Beholders, The True Loves, Neal Francis, Jungle Fire, Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio, Ben Pirani, The Jive Turkeys, The Ironsides, The Harlem Gospel Travelers, Rudy De Anda, Alanna Royale, and more! Inspired by records like Atlantic’s “Soul Christmas”, Phil Spector’s “A Christmas Gift For You” and Rotary Connection’s “Peace” this album will be a record that will appeal not only to lovers of holiday music, but lovers of SOUL music in general! This was Kelly Finnigan’s third full-album production, released in 2020, and in the 6 years since he has released two new solo records, Sage Motel by Monophonics, and a new Monophonics on the way in 2027. He has rapidly established himself as a key producer, songwriter, and performer in the current soul scene.
The LP is packaged in high quality Stoughton Tip-On jacket, LP stored in Mobile Fidelity anti-static innsersleeve, and is pressed on random colored vinyl at Gotta Groove Records in Cleveland, OH.
