Wynonna Recreates Christmas Song She Sang With Her Mom
Wynonna Judd is sharing a new solo version of The Judds’ classic Christmas song “Beautiful Star of Bethlehem.” Wy said in a statement, “‘Beautiful Star of Bethlehem’ is one of the first Christmas songs I ever remember singing with Mom.”
She added, “We recorded it in 1987 for the Christmas Time with The Judds album, and I still sing it to this day! Getting to re-record it with my husband & producer, Cactus Moser, 35 years later, was so special to me. It’s rootsy & raw as if we’re sitting around the fireplace singing together.”
The song’s lyrics include, “Oh beautiful star of Bethlehem / Shining far through shadows dimmed / Giving the light for those who long have gone / Guiding the wise men on their way / Unto the place where Jesus lay / Oh beautiful star of Bethlehem shine on.”
