We've got LOTS of giveaways today!
That's what happens when it's Mardi Gras season- it's pouring some days!
Up now we have a wonderful cd from noted actress Emmy Rossum, Sentimental Journey, which is being released TODAY! It, is a collection of classic covers from the epic American Songbook.
I have liked Emmy ever since I saw The Songcatcher on cable, and had to hunt down the video! When Miss Grace was a baby, I played it alot as she LOVED it every time Emmy would sing! That movie showed what a great voice she has, so I was not surprised that she decided to go with a collection of standards for this cd! And boy has she grown up since that movie!
In fact, this is more than just a collection of songs to Emmy- each of the 12 songs representing a month in the year: "Each song needed to either lyrically or emotionally reflect the corresponding month," Emmy explains. "Some songs were obvious fits, like Summer Wind for June, and Pretty Paper for December. Others songs were less literal fits. I chose Nobody Knows You (When You're Down and Out) for September because, to me, the plaintive melody and lyric emotionally reflect the cold weather creeping in and the sense of melancholy we can get in the fall months."

I'd like to hear "Pretty Paper." Emmy is a fab singer. I know her first and foremost from the Phantom of the Opera movie.
ReplyDeleteI would like to hear (I’ll Be With You) In Apple Blossom Time. I've admired Emmy Rossum's talent since watching Phantom of the Opera.
