Everybody Knows It’s Christmas is Isaak’s second career Christmas album since his chart-topping 2004 Christmas on Warner Bros. Records. The album tour will feature 13 songs of originals and covers, all paying tribute to the iconic Sun Records’ aesthetic.
“The holidays are such a special time for me and the pandemic left us all so isolated. I felt like a holiday album was a great opportunity to bring people together this year…” 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.”
