I felt like a holiday album was a great opportunity to bring people together this year. I had so much fun making this album and designing the cover,” says Isaak. “It was a joy to work with Dave Cobb and we worked in his iconic RCA studio where John Prine had placed a year-round Christmas tree to keep the holidays alive. I loved that idea so I’m going to keep that spirit alive.” Everybody Knows It’s Christmas Track Listing: 1. Winter Wonderland2. Jingle Bell Rock3. Holiday Blues4. Run Rudolph Run5.
