Album
Elton John's Christmas Party is a Christmas-themed compilation album from British singer-songwriter Elton John. It features his 1973 Christmas single, Step into Christmas, and a new duet with Joss Stone, Calling It Christmas. According to John's introduction in the liner notes, as opposed to doing an album of his versions of already famous songs, he chose to do a compilation with some of his favorite holiday songs by other artists. Elton John's Christmas Party does indeed feel like a party. Fortunately for music fans, the guest list at this party includes the Flaming Lips, the Beach Boys, Otis Redding, Chuck Berry, and a bevy of other superstars. In fact, John only shows up to greet and say goodbye by bookending the album with the compositions Step Into Christmas and Calling It Christmas. The inclusion of U2's New Year's Day and the Pretenders' 2000 Miles underscore the fact that this is as much a collection of fine songs and performances as it is a holi.
