Christmas

2011

A joy from beginning to end. I was really egotistical about it. Management and friends were like, “Oh, you’re making a Christmas record!” And I kept saying, emphatically, “No, I’m not making a Christmas record. I’m making the Christmas record.” I was more than satisfied with that record. Sometimes other stuff comes on and I self-critique: “Oh, God, I would have sung that differently.” And I hear this out shopping and I go, “Yeah, you guys were bad-asses.”
