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 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. '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.
