Upcoming Broadway Albums & CD ReleasesRelease Dates for Broadway CDs, Streaming, Cast Albums, Solo Releases, iTunes & MoreTwo-time Tony Award nominee Alison Fraser's Tennessee Williams: Words and Music album merges songs featured in the works of the iconic playwright with select readings of his flavorful prose. The album, recorded in New Orleans with the rollicking band The Gentlemen Callers, combines theater and traditional jazz in an exciting new hybrid. Using country-western ballads, Mississippi blues, Latin love songs as well as classic standards, the album paints a striking new picture of a literary titan. Tennessee Williams: Words and Music features songs taken both from major plays of the Tennessee Williams cannon – such as A Streetcar Named Desire and This Property is Condemned – in addition to lesser-known later works like Clothes for a Summer Hotel and Something Cloudy, Something Clear. Other highlights include the dramatic theatrical showstopper “St. Louis Blues” and “New San Antonio Rose,” which becomes a comedic tour de force thanks to Fraser’s distinctive yodel. The centerpiece is Fraser’s thrilling voice, at points warm and rustic, at others bold and powerful. Label: Ghostlight Records
