JRB is one of my heroes! He did an awesome job adapting the story of Leo Frank to music quite fitting of the South while adding his usual Jewish tinge to it. I love 'All the Wasted Time'- one of the best musical theatre duets in the past 50 years, as well as 'This is Not Over Yet'- a tour de force piece of work. Pretty much everything in this book is wonderful. It will definitely take either an extremely talented classical pianist and/or a strong reader in chords and feel for the songs to play a lot of these accompaniment parts, but they are some of the most enjoyable songs to play. My only reason I am giving the songbook 4 stars is because it doesn't have 'There is A Fount/God This Don't Make Sense' in here. I figured out most of it by ear with the cd, but still it would have been nice to have included this heartfelt eulogy to Mary Phagan in here. Oh well, I guess you can't get them all. Buy this book and enjoy!
