Anne’s new album, Anne Murray Duets: Friends & Legends, is due out in November in Canada with a U.S. release scheduled for January.
Anne Murray Duets: Friends & Legends is a collection of Anne’s most classic songs re-recorded as duets with some of the finest women of song. The album offers a wide variety of Anne's favourite female voices including: Shania Twain, Martina McBride, Nelly Furtado, Isabelle Boulay, k.d. Lang, Celtic Woman, Carole King, Olivia Newton-John, Emmylou Harris, Jann Arden, Shelby Lynn as well as Anne's daughter, Dawn Langstroth. Dawn and Anne’s son, Will Langstroth provided back-up vocals on some tracks. More artists to be unveiled soon.
Anne Murray Duets: Friends & Legends is being produced by one of the most respected and prolific music producers in the world, Phil Ramone (Tony Bennett, Elton John, Barbara Streisand, Bob Dylan, Billy Joel), who has 32 Grammy nominations and 12 Grammy Awards to his name.
Songs include "You Needed Me," "Nobody Loves Me Like You Do," and "Danny's Song." Anne teamed up with Olivia Newton-John for Cotton Jenny. Also included is a duet of "I Just Fall In Love Again" with the late Dusty Springfield, using Dusty’s original 1979 recording. In 1979, both Anne and Dusty Springfield recorded the song " I Just Fall In Love Again," with Anne 's rendition reaching no. 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 and earning Anne a Juno for “Single of the Year” in 1980. With the blessing of the Springfield family and estate, a version of this song combining Dusty's original recording will also be featured on this package. Releasing an album with this type of sisterly theme wouldn't seem complete for Anne without Dusty's inclusion. They were friends until her passing in 1999.
The CD was recorded in Los Angeles, Nashville and Toronto.
Anne Murray Duets: Friends & Legends will be sold on-line at annemurray.com on the Music & Gift Shop on the release date - to be announced.
