Data Insight
Two of the twelve tracks carry her name and one of those is hers alone. Everything else is other people's material, which makes this the only album in the catalogue where she is mostly an interpreter rather than a writer.
Home for Christmas came out on A&M in November 2008, nine months after Detours, and sold 40,000 in the United States. It is a record of carols and standards.
