Like Laura Benanti, who in her consummate 2013 CD recorded at 54 Below—In Constant Search of the Right Kind of Attention—reports having cried on her New Jersey school bus upon learning that her classmates had never heard of Rosemary Clooney, Holloway relates to the classics from the American Songbook in a deeply personal way.
