He selected songs that capture the myriad of emotions
we feel during the holidays,

to deliver memorable interpretations for listeners.

From inception to pressing, less than one year in the making
Completed as planned for the 2010 holiday season
Features contemporary, traditional, country, jazz, and rock renditions
More than 40 Players and Singers
More than 400 hours of recording time
A few friendships date back to the 1960's

penned for the album, written by co-producer James Waine Carpenter.
