Description
In 2011, Carole King released her classic holiday album, A Holiday Carole, produced by her daughter Louise Goffin. This album features 12 songs that beautifully blend sacred and secular elements, with a great mix of well - chosen standards and new compositions. Louise Goffin co - wrote three original tracks. 'Christmas in Paradise' has a Latin flavor and was a collaboration with Grammy - winners George Noriega and Jodi Marr. 'Christmas In The Air' is a sublime Goffin/Marr piece, and 'New Year's Day' was co - written with renowned songsmith Guy Chambers. As King recalls, Louise first asked her about her favorite songs. After making a list, Louise searched for more unique tracks like 'Every Day Will Be Like A Holiday' by William Bell & Booker T. Jones. King gives the music her special touch, adding a seasonal charm. The emotional high - point of the album is 'Chanukah Prayer'. Louise had the smart idea to record King singing the Chanukah prayer passed down through generations and build a track around it. The result is a warm, jazz - influenced tune with vocals from three generations: King, her daughter, and her grandson. Tracklist: Side A includes My Favorite Things, Carol of the Bells, Sleigh Ride, Christmas Paradise, Everyday Will Be Like a Holiday, and Chanukah Prayer. Side B features Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm, Christmas in the Air, Do You Hear What I Hear, This Christmas, and New Year's Day.
