Among the highlights of this disc is Ronstadt's duet with the late Rosemary Clooney on the track "White Christmas".
Ronstadt and Elektra differed on the final playing order: "They wanted me to start with 'Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire'. I was tired of bargaining with them. I had this scheme where it started with ancient and went to modern. I always like to organize chronologically."
