Bernadette Peters - Bernadette (1992/2020)

Bernadette Peters opens this self-titled album with her usual "Broadway Baby" and includes some other show tunes, but she also samples country and rock & roll, accompanied by small combos, piano, or guitar. While it's a little different from what her fans are used to hearing, this ballad-heavy album shows Peters at her torchy best. The 50-minute CD, released in 1992, is a combination of tracks from her 1980 solo debut album and 1981's Now Playing. And that's an authentic Vargas portrait on the cover.
