"Once again, Stage Stars and its company of performers assigned to the "guide vocals" have gone above and beyond the call of duty, with vocals that are full of color and character. Not generic by any means, they have the flavor of the show and are thoroughly engaging in their own right as a cast album is..."

Winner of seven Tony Awards when it debuted on Broadway in 1956, Damn Yankees marked the second consecutive Best Musical win for the composers Richard Adler and Jerry Ross.  Adler and Ross had won the Best Musical Tony Award, the previous year, for The Pajama Game.  "Whatever Lola Wants" is among the best known songs from this stage show.  The plot of Damn Yankees centers on a Faustian bargain made by a fan of the baseball team, the Washington Senators, for his team to beat the NY Yankees and win the World Series.

Our accompaniment/karaoke CD of songs from Damn Yankees features 24 tracks. Tracks 1-12 contain the background tracks and guide vocals; tracks 13-24 contain the accompaniment tracks alone.  This album is a re-recording in the original show key and show tempo.

Songs included are:

About Our Album Format

All our albums include professionally recorded guide vocals.  Each song appears on the album twice: once with music and vocals, and once with accompaniment tracks alone.  This allows the performer to learn a song by singing along with the vocals and music, then to practice their technique accompanied only by the background tracks. 

Our karaoke albums are recorded in the CD+G format.  When played on a karaoke machine, lyrics will appear on-screen.  In a conventional CD player no graphics will appear onscreen, however, a booklet of the lyrics is enclosed in the CD jewel case.  CD+G albums will play in any CD player.
