Laura Bell Bundy is best known as a Broadway performer who originated the roles of Elle Woods in Legally Blonde the Musical and Amber Von Tussle in Hairspray the Musical. On Longing for a Place Already Gone, the album she co-wrote and co-produced under the name Laura Bell, she returns to her southern roots and proves she has the chops to be a serious country star, nailing everything from rockabilly to Dixie-flavored pop. For the star's many fans, the record's most striking surprise may be her voice. She trades the pristine, carefully enunciated style of musical theater for a passionate mix of growls, moans, and slurred phrases. In other words, she sounds like a bona fide country singer, not some actress playing dress-up. Track Listings 1. Fool Moon 2. Texas 3. Between Me and You 4. Just Me 5. Fallin' 6. Designated Drunk 7.
