A: Is for the album of Carol Hall

One of the albums and songs up for a MAC award is legendary songwriter and singer Carol Hall Best known for her Broadway musical and film "Best Little Whorehouse in Texas" and the classic lullaby "Jennie Rebbeca," this CD has been a critically and popular success. Her songs have been performed by Barbara Streisand, Tony Bennett, Olivia Newton John and Kermit the Frog to name a few. Dolly Parton's recording of "Hard Candy Christmas" won an ASCAP award for most performed country song. This CD starts off with Carol herself singing that song. Next up is my favorite cut "It's only a Broken Heart" sung by the wonderful Sally Mayes. This song is the perfect antidote for all of those people who can't get over a relationship. This is Carol lyrically at her best. "Dublin in the Rain" is reminiscent of a "Nightingale Sang in Barkley Square." Poinently sung by Farah Alvin this a classic song waiting to happen. The Honky Tonk "Change in Me" is performed by Johnny Rodgers and is the song up for best song and it is the perfect movie theme song for a those laid back country films. I love Amanda McBroom and she is her singing "Tattooed Boy in Memphis." Her lush comprehension of lyric is perfect for the idea's Carol sets out like life on a platter. Leslie Gore's "Hungry for You" is an anthem of want and longing. The gospel Carol Woods who was in "Whorehouse" is given "Do You Know What I Mean." Together with the Broadway Inspirational Voices lifts the soul. "War on Christmas Day" sung by Scott Coulter music by Robert Burke is a Dixie Chick hit waiting to happen. It is also a remembrance to times past and times present in war. Steven Lutvak's singing and music to "I'll Imagine You a Song" is the song that should be sung at funerals to offer hope and and uplifting of love felt. Hallways the songs of Carol Halls is a CD that is sure to please and should be a staple on theatre lovers and music connoisseurs and that is a F.A.C.T.
