The not-so-lost art of the show tune is something of a thriving subculture. With a burnished tone and smartly deployed vibrato, Anne Kerry Ford continues to carry the torch with passion and precision.

She has filled a CD with a program of songs from the hands of Oscar
Hammerstein and Stephen Sondheim.
The fun of the Ford version lies in the fact that Anne, who has a warm voice, gives this material a new meaning without the usual mannerism of the semi-classically trained voices we normally hear in this genre.
In a natural way, she transforms these musical-songs into real songs with a purpose in their own right; one does not need the context of the musical's story to appreciate them, only the beautiful voice of Anne Kerry Ford supported by piano, guitar, bass, cello, accordion and oboe, with a touch of percussion.
Because of this retrained approach, the album never crosses the thin line
in this genre between music and kitch.
