JANUARY 2014 RELEASES
The songs feature the music of Richard A. Whiting, famed composer of many standards of the Great American Songbook including "Hooray for Hollywood," "Too Marvelous for Words," "She's Funny That Way," and many others. These newly recorded songs will be featured in her upcoming show, "One Hour With You: The Music of Richard Whiting." As a dear friend of the Whiting family, this project holds significant meaning for Carol, and is made even more special by the collaboration with Margaret Whiting's longtime musical director Tex Arnold. In the course of their preparation for the show, they discovered "Sittin' On The Curbstone Blues" which was a song Richard wrote with Haven Gillespie and Seymour Simons, but was never recorded. It's perfectly suited for Carol's dramatic, fun, yet bluesy interpretation.
Upon listening to this hidden gem Michael Feinstein commented, "There is nothing more special than finding a new song that's classic and fresh at the same time, and 'A Day Away From Town,' is just that. The combined pedigree's of Gus Kahn and Richard Whiting, with an assist from Tex Arnold have made this a long overdue winner that in my book is an instant standard." Download your copies today!!

Carol
Woods is pleased to announce that her latest recordings

The
second song, was actually an unfinished song with lyrics
by Gus Kahn and music by Richard Whiting. Hubert "Tex"

and arranging it for Carol. Two versions of the song
have been released, one which includes the original
introductory verse, and one without. Upon hearing this
song, the listener is sure to think it's already a standard.
