Rodney Crowell celebrates the holidays with Christmas Everywhere.
“I was finally ready to record an album of original Christmas songs. With Dan Knobler producing and some very gifted musicians and vocalists lending their talents, the making of the album Christmas Everywhere ranks as some of the most enjoyable recording sessions I’ve ever experienced. The record was close to being finished when it occurred to me that to set the tone for the albums mostly irreverent subtext, I needed to compose a lyrical prelude. In honor of Clement Moore, who wrote the poem we all know as, ‘The Night Before Christmas,’ I came up with a short piece called ‘Clement’s Lament (We’ll See You In The Mall)’.” - Rodney Crowell
