Recorded at Angel Recording Studios Ltd., London England; Arch Angel Recording Studio and Conway Studios, Los Angeles, California. Produced by 1960s icon Peter Asher, who was one half of the duo Peter and Gordon and has also collaborated with Brian Wilson, this second volume of Neil Diamond's collection of Christmas songs features a mix of traditional material like "Away in a Manger," heard here in an updated arrangement, the pop classic "I'll Be Home For Christmas," and "Joy to the World." Timeless and enduring, these songs, and Diamond's warm delivery, radiate Christmas cheer.
With a career as a hitmaker stretching across the decades, Neil Diamond has purveyed catchy, three-chord pop/rock, progressive singer/songwriter material, middle-of-the-road balladry, and even traditional country. He started out as a Brill Building hitmaker; a songwriter for hire, he worked alongside the likes of Carole King and Gerry Goffin, and penned hits for the Monkees and Jay & the Americans. His solo career took off in the mid 1960s and made him one of America's most successful recording artists and concert attractions for a long time to come. Even decades down the road, younger groups such as UB40 in the '80s, Urge Overkill in the '90s, and Smash Mouth in the 2000's were still scoring hits with Diamond's evergreen compositions.
