Caorle King's first ever holiday album, A Christmas Carole, features 12 songs which blen the sacred and the secular with an eclectic mix of well-chosen standards and newly-written material. Her daughter Louise Goffin co-wrote three original tracks on the album, including the latin-flavoured “Christmas in Paradise”, on which she collaborated with Grammy-winners George Noriega and Jodi Marr.
For King, the album's emotional highlight is undoubtedly “Chanukah Prayer”. This Jazz-infected tune brings three generations of her family together, herself, her daughter and her grandson.
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, and American Idol devoting an entire episode to her music.
