It's a Small World/God Help the Outcasts - Kerry Butler
I'm sorry but there is no song today. The reason is that I want to promote this new Disney cover album that came out today but I don't have a copy of it yet so I can't post the track. I hope to have it very soon and I will repost it with the song at that time but you will have to wait for a little while.

The album is called FAITH, TRUST AND PIXIE DUST and it is by Broadway singer KERRY BUTLER. Butler is currently performing as Ariel in the Little Mermaid Broadway Musical. Having performed in other musicals such as Hairspray, Bat Boy, Little Shop of Horrors and as Belle in Beauty and the Beast.

UPDATE: Thank you to many readers who wrote in to tell me that Butler is not playing Ariel in the Broadway musical. However she was involved in the project, she recorded Ariel's voice for some of the demo recordings. I found a copy of her singing Part of Your World that I will post at a later date. It should also be said that I neglected to mention Xanadu, a musical for which Kerry Butler was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Musical! Good job Kerry!

Butler had now stepped out and recorded her first album, titled FAITH, TRUST AND PIXIE DUST, a line taken from I'll Try from Return to Neverland. She has chosen a selection of her favourite Disney songs and is giving them a non-Broadway feel. Simple and acoustic is the way to go for her. Also on the album are a few previously unreleased Disney songs, which I may post like I did with Clay Akien's Proud of Your Boy.

The track that I want to post today is a medley of It's a Small World and God Help the Outcasts. This sounds like an odd combination of songs and I haven't heard it yet so I can't really comment on it. However, there is a little story behind why God Help the Outcasts is on this disc. Apparently she held a contest asking people to submit a Disney song that they wanted to hear on the album. The winner got to sit in the studio as she recorded it.

Again, I will be posting this song as soon as I get it but if you want to hear a short sample you can click here or here.

UPDATE: Here it is, everyone! I finally got my hands on a copy of this album and am now sharing it with you! Enjoy!
