Produced by her daughter Louise Goffin, the album's 12 songs artfully blend the sacred and the secular with an eclectic mix of well-chosen standards and newly-written material. Goffin co-wrote three original tracks on the album, including the Latin-flavored \"Christmas in Paradise,\" on which she collaborated with Grammy-winners George Noriega and Jodi Marr, the sublime Goffin\/Marr composition \"Christmas In The Air,\" and the deeply moving \"New Year's Day,\" co-written with renowned songsmith Guy Chambers. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"As an experienced producer,\" King remembers, \"Louise's first question to me as her artist was, 'What songs do you like?'\" After compiling a list of favorites, Goffin went on the hunt for more unusual tracks, coming up with tunes like William Bell \u0026amp; Booker T. Jones' Stax classic \"Every Day Will Be Like A Holiday.\" King puts her own indelible stamp on the music, lending it a special seasonal flair. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e For King, the album's emotional highlight is undoubtedly \"Chanukah Prayer.\" \"Louise had the brilliant idea to take the Chanukah prayer that I learned from my parents, and they learned from their parents, and back through generations,\" she explains. \"She said 'I want to record you singing that and I'm going to build a track around it.'\" The result is a warm, jazz-inflected tune that brings together three generations on vocals: King, her daughter, and her grandson. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In a career with innumerable highlights, King has reached new pinnacles in recent years including 2010's bestselling Troubadour Reunion album and tour with James Taylor, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAmerican Idol\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e devoting an entire episode to her music this season, and a forthcoming memoir due out in 2012.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books Prime","offers":[{"title":"Audio Cd, Cd, November 1, 2011","offer_id":45922261434559,"sku":"8a2134dc-40e8-499d-b72b-f30e92b1f819","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0761\/7550\/7647\/files\/1c20b8f69941d11f2cf66854d07fe3e4.jpg?v=1785181265","url":"https:\/\/books-prime.com\/products\/holiday-carole","provider":"Books Prime","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
