Mandy Barnett discussed and performed songs from her new album, I Can’t Stop Loving You: The Songs of Don Gibson, and her Christmas CD, Winter Wonderland, last Saturday, Dec. 21 at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum‘s presentation of “Sweet Dreams And Holiday Cheer With Mandy Barnett.”

The Gibson tribute album release coincided with the 10^th anniversary of Gibson’s passing on Nov. 17, and fulfilled a promise Barnett made to the singer/songwriter before his death. It contains 12 songs penned by Gibson, including hits like the crossover smash “I Can’t Stop Loving You,” and “Sweet Dreams.” The CD was released through Cracker Barrel.
