Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold,
everything is softer and more beautiful.
~ Norman Vincent Peale
On November 28, 2006, Clay Aiken released a studio EP titled All Is Well. Originally released as an exclusive recording for Wal-Mart, the popular album finally became available on iTunes in December of 2007.
There are four songs on the All Is Well EP. The Playlist is:
- All Is Well
- Christmas Waltz
- O Come O Come Emmanuel
- My Grown-Up Christmas List
Clay Aiken is listed, along with Jaymes Foster, as an Executive Producer of the EP. All Is Well debuted at #54 on the Billboard Comprehensive Albums chart. This is different as it is unusual for an EP disc to chart or to have its sales tracked.
The title song, All Is Well, was written by Michael W. Smith and recorded for his album Michael W Smith Christmas in 1989. Because it was a popular song, Smith included the song on 2 more of his albums.
Michael W. Smith has released 23 albums and thirteen books. Smith is a three-time Grammy Award winner, and has earned 40 Dove Awards.. Throughout his career, he has sold more than 15 million albums.
Clay Aiken was the featured musical guest on the Capital One Holiday Celebration on Ice in 2007. The show was televised on Christmas Day and Clay sang songs from his albums Merry Christmas With Love and All Is Well.
Todd Eldredge is a former World Champion and 4-time U.S. Champion. He chose All Is Well for his skating performance for the Celebration on Ice show. For many in the audience, the performance of the two artists was the highlight of the show. Eldredge also used Clay’s recording of this song for his Rockefeller Center performance for the Today Show.
The following video is from the Christmas broadcast of the Capital One Holiday on Ice. I was lucky enough to be in Las Vegas for the recording of this show. Were you there too?
I am sorry that I could not attach the video to this page.
I will try again later. Sometimes silly things get in the way!!
Have A Wonderful Monday!
All of the information you provided was excellent. I didn’t get to the Capital Show as I live on the NE side of our states. I did watch the TV Special and the morning show with Todd Eldridge – recorded them and love it when I replay them during the
Christmas holidays. I have the All Is Well C/D also the other Christmas C/Ds. Clay has given us so much “magical” music!
Thank you for the info and the pictures. I have this CD. It only has 4 songs, but they are all beautiful songs. I do not remember the Capital One Holiday Celebration. I wish I could see it. Thank you CANN.
Not only were the songs on this CD beautiful, but the album cover of Clay is perfect. Hope you all had a warm and happy Thanksgiving.
