A Holiday Carole Vinyl LP

Carole King\’s classic holiday album, A Holiday Carole, released in 2011. 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 newlywritten 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. \”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 & 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. 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.
