HR Recordings releases The Weary Blues, an exciting new recording of songs resulting from a long and wonderful collaboration between American composer Drew Hemenger and soprano Adrienne Danrich. This first collaborative recording features a set of songs written for Adrienne based on Harlem Renaissance poet Langston Hughes, along with a gripping and sometimes harrowing song cycle, “Which Way Home?” on poems of Pulitzer Prize-winning American poet, Anne Sexton. The artists explore a contrast of styles demanded by the diverse texts.
