CALL IT HOME – Susannah Mars sings the music of Richard Gray

Tuesday April 14, 2009 was the official drop date of Rich Gray and Susannah Mars’ new CD – CALL IT HOME. I’m not sure where the term “drop” comes from, but I’m guessing that it is probably  hold over from the old vinyl days. It is now available on Itunes, Amazon, Tower and LML Music.

I was lucky enough to pick up a copy of CALL IT HOME a while ago, at a performance of A MAN OF NO IMPORTANCE (starring Rich Gray) at the Kirkland Performance Centre. I’ve always loved CDs of vocalists who sing “the music of” (such as the Jennifer Warnes/Leonard Cohen FAMOUS BLUE RAINCOAT), because you feel like you get to know two people, the writer and the vocalist.

This is one of those great (but rare) CDs, where you want to listen to every track. My personal favs are Holiday Letter, Food Court Love and Leading Man. Leading Man is the only song on the CD sung by Rich. Rich performed Holiday Letter and Leading Man at a cabaret (I REMEMBER SKY) at ACT THEATRE. Rich is great on the CD, and even more fun to watch perform live! Now that I mention it, it would be great for Susannah and Rich to do a live performance of this CD!

So go out and but yourself a copy! And if you still can’t get enough of Rich and Susannah, they are both appearing in the 5th Avenue Theatre’s production of SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE (April 21- May 10)

Hmmm, maybe I can finally get them to autograph my CD...
