Six-time Golden Guitar winner, Melinda Schneider releases her new studio album which continues her heartfelt homage to Hollywood movie legend, the wonderful Doris Day.
'Melinda Does Doris... Again - The Movie Songs' features some of the most memorable movie songs of all time, including "Pillow Talk" (from the 1969 film), "Just Blew In From The Windy City" (from the 1953 film Calamity Jane), "Tea For Two" and much more.
This album once again sees Melinda step aside from the strictly country music world as she demonstrates her love of jazz standards and musical theatre on this celebration of classic songs. With some impressive special guest appearances on four of the 15 tracks - James Morrison, Tom Burlinson, Melinda's mother, Mary Schneider and musical theatre star Rohan Browne, this album continues a love affair with Doris Day which began when Melinda was a child.
"My first introduction to Doris was the film 'Calamity Jane' when I was eight years old. I fell in love with her immediately and whenever I revisit some of her old movies now, I'm transported back to that place, a place of happiness and pure joy."
The first single "Young At Heart" features Australian actor and singer Tom Burlinson.
Melinda's first Doris tribute album 'Melinda Does Doris – A Tribute To Doris Day,' was released in 2010 and debuted at #1 on the ARIA Jazz and Blues chart. It remained there for a total of 9 weeks. Melinda went on to write and star in DORIS, the hugely successful theatre show co-written with David Mitchell (Dusty/Shout) and will be embarking on a National tour to support this new album from October 2016.
