Tony Award-winning Broadway legend Betty Buckley will introduce her powerful new live double album Story Songs from Palmetto Records today, Friday, April 7. The recording is being released on the heels of her most recent success in M. Night Shyamalan's newest film Split (the #1 Movie in America and an International Box Office hit) in which she co-stars opposite James McAvoy.
The celebrated interpreter presents an adventurous collection with music from all genres, from theatre to folk to Top 40. Story Songs features a quartet of musicians including the renowned multi- Grammy-nominated Jazz Pianist Christian Jacob, Buckley's long-term Pianist, Arranger and Music Director, and Jazz Guitarist Oz Noy. When Story Songs debuted at Joe's Pub last fall, The New York Times praised it as her "stunning new show, arguably the strongest of her career. Ms Buckley gave everything she sang the shape and depth of a personal confession." When she took the program to the Bay Area later in the season, she was called "a vocal wonder" by the San Francisco Chronicle. Disc 1 You've Got To Be Carefully TaughtVideos
