Other highlights include Sharon McNight in an alcoholic haze of lost love called "I Slip Into This Place" and "Great Things," a Disney-like anthem of positive thinking.” - 93.5 WRTN FM /1460 WVOX AM New York - Lesley Alexander's CD, Theatre & Cabaret Update Whitney Radio The real find on this disc is a future hit entitled "Matters of the Heart" well sung by Tami Tappan stressing the value of what is felt with an easy flowing melody and a simple honest emotive lyric. “Everyone Has A Story, The Songs of Adryan Russ offers a variety of emotions put forth by a bevy of terrific singers including Jason Graae and Susan Egan. Russ' songs are solidly constructed, well written for the voice and abound with inventive lyrics.Whether you're a cabaret patron (or booking agent) eager to hear a whole raft of highly talented singers on one album or a performer in search of new material that can make your audience laugh, cry or sigh out loud, you would be well-advised to make time in your schedule and space in your CD rack for this refreshing and entertaining album.” - Spotlight Reviews - United Kingdom Those seeking well-written songs of positive affirmation would do well to listen to Joan Ryan and Juliana Ashley Hansen's delivery of the opening two tracks, the latter with music written by Brad Ellis. Russ' romanticism is the type that believes in the boundless possibilities of human achievement, in the ability of the spirit to overcome the greatest adversity. “Life," says Adryan Russ in one of the 15 songs featured on this showcase for her work, "is not a science, it's an art." There is no doubting the exuberant and romantic spirit that pervades the songs on this album. You'll hear shimmers of Menken, Hamlisch, and Shire, but more often, an original voice sings out.” - Out Magazine OutFront - Music by Tom Steele Thanks to the dedication of the participants - especially arranger Grant Geissman and producer Bruce Kimmel - what could have been a mixed bag is an embarrassment of riches. Russ, best known for her off-Broadway musical Inside Out, couldn't ask for a more convincing showcase. “With unmistakably Broadway melodic lines, razor-sharp lyrics and wide-eyed performances by top cabaret stars like Sharon McNight and Jason Graae, Everyone finally puts this gifted composer front and center. “Everyone loves the songs of award-winning lyricist/composer Adryan Russ!15 of today's hottest Broadway talents are featured on this CD, including Susan Egan, Juliana Ashley Hansen, Michelle Nicastro and Jason Graae!”.
