Data Insight
Evans writes two of the eleven tracks, the lowest share in her catalogue. Christmas albums run on standards and this one is no exception, so the writer who carries seventeen of eighteen on Faithfully is barely present in the credits here.
A Faithful Christmas came out on Capitol in October 2005, six months after The First Lady. Eleven tracks in 40:04, mixing carols with new songs.
