LA Times Features Inara George, Who’ll Take The Songs of Douglass And Littell On Tour Soon

Inara George, writes the Los Angeles Times, has “an exquisite new album, Songs of Douglass & Littell, on which she sets aside her own songwriting to interpret nine tunes by [two] under-the-radar veterans of West Coast musical theater: searching, funny, vividly emotional songs… Think of the record as George’s take on one of Ella Fitzgerald’s classic Song Book LPs from the late ’50s and early ’60s, when the jazz star was systematically enshrining the work of Cole Porter, Irving Berlin and other authors of the Great American Songbook.”

The paper has a great feature on George and her new album, which explores the work of songwriters Eliot Douglass and Philip Littell. Learn more about the LP, which is at radio now, here, and catch Inara George on one of her upcoming tourdates:
