In November of 2006, Clay Aiken released All Is Well, a studio EP. The four-song EP was originally an exclusive at Wal-Mart. However, in December of 2007, the album was picked up by iTunes.
All four of the Christmas songs are beautiful holiday songs and produced by some of the top producers in the music industry.
Extended play (EP) albums seldom chart or have their sales tracked. However, as with many of Clay’s albums, All Is Well broke some tradition in sales and popularity. The EP debuted at number 54 on the Billboard Charts.
The first track on the album is the beautiful song, All Is Well. This song was written by Michael W. Smith and Wayne Kirkpatrick and included on Smith’s 1989 album, Christmas.
Michael Smith is a 55 year old contemporary Christian musician. He is a three-time Grammy Award winner, and has earned over 40 Dove Awards. He has recorded 29 #1 hit songs, fourteen gold albums, and five platinum albums. He has sold more than 13 million albums.
Wayne Kirkpatrick is 51 and someone who stays in the background while he works as a very successful musician and composer. He wrote the beautiful lyrics to All Is Well
All is well – all is well
Angels and men rejoice
For tonight darkness fell
Into the dawn of love’s light
Sing A-le
Sing Alleluia
All is well – all is well
Let there be peace on earth
Christ is come – go and tell
That He is in the manger
Sing A-le
Sing Alleluia
All is well – all is well
Lift up your voice and sing
Born is now Emmanuel
Born is our Lord and Savior
Sing Alleluia
Sing Alleluia
All is well
Born is now Emmanuel
Born is our Lord and Savior
Sing Alleluia
Sing Alleluia
All is well
The following video is a wonderful performance by Clay of All Is Well on December 2, 2006. Clay was at the Star Plaza Theater in Merrillville, IN.
Do You Have This EP?
One of my all time favorite songs by him. His voice was built for Christmas songs but this is so powerful as well as Emanuel. He was so proud that he made that last note, darling how fingers were crossed. He's such a cutey patutie
Clay and "All Is Well" is soo grand – one of my favorites for sure – he sings it so perfectly! I wished he
would do a whole inspirational album – not just a Christmas Album – but another Christmas one
would be very appreciated also!! Never will be too many Clay songs – I think we would all agree!
OMG! I couldn't stop clapping with a HUGE smile plastered on my face, and was tearing up JUST WATCHING THIS VIDEO AGAIN! I remember watching the video of the night before and listening on a cell cert along with all of Clay Nation as he hit those notes the next night!! Amazing! How does he DO that to us! Still after all these years! Oh yes I have this EP. My good friend and I were in my car after ripping off the plastic and were in AWE listening to it!! I will never forget it!

I remember seeing Clay do this concert in Cleveland, OH. What a night! Christmas and Clay, made for each other.
That was a great CD. I bought it the second it came out. Still have it…and will be digging it out to listen to for Christmas again this year. I would love for him to put out another Christmas Album. No one sings Christmas like Clay Aiken.
Clay is so handsome and when he sings my heart wants to burst with joy.I just feel like I am melting inside.There is no one else like Claybear!
