This first solo Christmas album, MARSHMALLOW WORLD & OTHER HOLIDAY FAVORITES, features Raul's beautiful and unique interpretations of beloved holiday tunes, some traditional, some stylized, some with a hint of humor, and all very nostalgic and of course, wonderfully vocalized. It was recorded in the same manner that AFTER HOURS was, "Live" in the studio, with the musicians playing simultaneously, in order to achieve that rich musical sound of the '50s and '60s some of Raul's favorite eras.
