Donna Lynne Champlin Announces Track Listing For Debut Solo Album OLD FRIENDS, Released 12/1
I'm so excited! Ty for posting!
The Parting Glass and Still Hurting!?!?
YES!
Is "The Parting Glass" the DLC-labeled "F@#$ you I'm Irish" drinking song she did to close "Finishing the Hat"?
It is. It's also the name of the label she created to release the album.
Love Donna Lynne but this is certainly a bizarre track list. At least its not run-of-the-mill like everyone else's albums, but some of these songs are VERY esoteric... anyway, glad to see a LaChiusa song and the very best song from FIRST LADY SUITE no less. She was magnificent in that show. Is that the only LaChiusa track?
P
Is Smile the Chaplin Smile? I understand its appeal but everyone does it on their solo disc...
P: It's the only MJLaC song. (I'm pretty sure you and I grew in the same area, ps.) I highly recommend reading her blog as to why she chose specific songs.
BB: It is the Chaplin "Smile." She writes about why she chose it here: http://donnalynnechamplinsfirstsolocd.blogspot.com/2009/11/sad-clown-song.html
I can't wait for this. I've been following it's creation on Facebook and it sounds like it's going to be great!
I adore her! Super excited for this.

I've enjoyed myself immensely following her blog, she's very candid and down-right hilarious about all the work that goes into making a solo CD. Excited to hear the finished product.
