Liz Callaway - Anywhere I Wander: Songs of Frank Loesser

After appearing in the revue More of Loesser, Broadway veteran Liz Callaway devoted her first solo album to the composer. Among the selections from Guys and Dolls, How to Succeed..., and The Most Happy Fella, as well as other miscellany, are highlights such as a coy, then swinging "On a Slow Boat to China," a roof-raising "Brotherhood of Man" (guest-starring sister Ann Hampton Callaway), and a gorgeous version of "My Heart Is So Full of You" that showcases this golden-voiced soprano at her heart-breaking best. --David Horiuchi
