Unexpected Dreams CD Giveaway

The Unexpected Dreams: Songs from the Stars CD was released today, featuring some of my favorite actors lending their voice talents. Whenever actors sing (or try to sing), it completely intrigues me and this new album is no exception! It’s obviously not the best singing in the world, but it’s sure fun to listen to.  The CD features 14 spellbinding tunes by composers including Elton John, Billy Joel, Sade, Bob Dylan, and Lennon/McCartney, beautifully sung (well, sometimes) and lushly orchestrated.  A portion of the proceeds will benefit “Music Matters,” the Los Angeles Philharmonic’s music education programs.  Here’s the Unexpected Dreams tracklisting –

  • Scarlett Johansson – “Summertime” (George & Ira Gershwin)
  • Ewan McGregor – “The Sweetest Gift” (Sade)
  • Taraji P. Henson – “In My Daughter’s Eyes” (James T. Slater)
  • Jennifer Garner – “My Heart Is So Full of You” (Frank Loesser)
  • Jeremy Irons – “To Make You Feel My Love” (Bob Dylan)
  • John Stamos – “Goodnight My Angel” (Billy Joel)
  • Lucy Lawless – “Little Child” (Eric Vetro/Alan Rich)
  • Marissa Jaret Winokur – “The Wish Song” (Eric Vetro/Steven Shore)
  • Eric McCormack – “The Greatest Discovery” (Elton John/Bernie Taupin)
  • Victor Garber – “No One Is Alone” (Stephen Sondheim)
  • Julia Louis-Dreyfus – “The Nightshift” (Brad Hall)
  • Nia Vardalos – “Golden Slumbers” (John Lennon/Paul McCartney)
  • John C. Reilly – “Lullaby In Ragtime” (Sylvia Fine)
  • Teri Hatcher – “Goodnight” (John Lennon/Paul McCartney)

It’s cool that actors are given the opportunities to record a song. Rarely hear them sing before…

I would love to have this cd to hear Jen!

Okay, Jared. You got me. I’m entering–would make a odd collectible in my music collection.

What an interesting mix of stars. I know some of them can sing from previous work, but I’d love to hear the rest.

very interested to hear this

Good line up.

I’m in it for Lucy Lawless. Love her!

Jennifer Garner and Victor Garber - simply amazing!!!

Jured, you’re such a nice guy…yesterday was my birthday, and tomorrow is my daughter’s second anniversary. WOULD YOU JUST GIVE ME THE CD. Huaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa………………………I don’t know wether the CD will be distributed in my country, Indonesia.BTW, I open your blog almost everyday. And it’s my number one favorit site now.

I’m interested in hearing Lucy Lawless and Scarlett Johansson.

Lucy Lawless!

Wow interesting…i know Ewan can sing, but I am intrigued by some of the other people on the CD. Especially Scarlett and John Stamos. I had only heard rumors about this CD coming out, so I’m happy to have it confirm, thanks to Jared,,,

I really can’t wait to get my hands on a copy of this CD. Jen has a beautiful singing voice, as we all know from Alias. The suprise was how great Victor’s voice was. The way that he speaks on Alias, I guess I never really thought of him singing. I really hope they have this CD in Alaska, if not I think I may cry.

thought I give it a try…

it sure is a very good cd.

Ewan makes it worth it to try for this one & if the others can sing, I’d consider it a bonus. This should be an interesting listen to say the least. Pick me! Pick me! :o)

random wishful thinking … Jennifer Garner as BETTY in SUNSET BLVD film adaptation? Can i get a holla?
