LML MUSIC released HALLWAYS, The Songs of Carol Hall on Tuesday, March 11th, 2008 nationally in stores and online at iTunes and Amazon.com.
The CD's critical and popular success has led to a second printing which was shipped Tuesday, January 20th nationally.
The CD also remains available online at iTunes and Amazon.com.
The first person ever to record one of Carol Hall's songs was the young Barbra Streisand. Subsequently, her songs were performed by such extraordinary singers as Tony Bennett, Barbara Cook, Margaret Whiting, Julie Wilson, Chita Rivera, Michael Feinstein, Mabel Mercer, Amanda McBroom, Lari White, Olivia Newton-John, Maureen McGovern, RuPaul, Miriam Makeba, David Campbell, Frederica von Stade, Kermit the Frog and Big Bird. Among others.
She's also one of the few songwriters to have a hit Broadway show.
Her classic musical The BEST LITTLE WHOREHOUSE IN TEXAS entertained Broadway audiences for almost five years,
received a Grammy nomination for its cast album, and became a popular film starring Burt Reynolds and Dolly Parton.
Dolly's recording of Carol's song 'Hard Candy Christmas' won an ASCAP Most Performed Country Song Award,
and the film generated an ACADEMY AWARD nomination for Charles Durning, singing 'The Sidestep' as the slippery Governor of Texas.
