Photo Coverage: Alan Cumming Sings and Signs 'BLUE CAR' at Barnes & Noble

Star of stage and screen Alan Cumming presents his debut solo album titled "I Bought a Blue Car Today" from the newly launched Yellow Sound Label. Including song selections from his original concert of the same name, the exciting collection is comprised of everything from rock opera to little-known gems, as well as brand new material.

The album became available on September 22, 2009. A Tony Award® winner for his work in Cabaret, Alan Cumming is admired for his work on Broadway and beyond. Cumming takes us on a musical journey with "I Bought a Blue Car Today."  With an ensemble led by musical director Lance Horne, the album is peppered with material by Cyndi Lauper, Dory Previn and Kander & Ebb, to name a few. Tracks include songs from Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Chess, Falsettos and Cabaret.

"I Bought A Blue Car Today" the show, premiered at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City in February followed by a March run in Sydney, Australia, and will next be seen in London's West End in early September followed by NY dates and a West Coast tour. It has garnered rave reviews from critics and audiences alike. The New York Times claimed Cumming "exudes the fabulousness of a brash showbiz kid," while Time Out called the show, "A little piece of Vaudevillian wonder packaged up in one hell of a sexy Scotsman."

The show is based on Cumming's experiences living in the United States for the past 10 years. He writes, "The title comes from the naturalization test I took to become a citizen of the U. S. of A. In the test, there is a bit where the man says a sentence and you have to write it down to prove your prowess in English. My sentence was ‘I bought a blue car today,' which initially I thought was really sweet and child-like, but on closer examination I realized that it's all about consumerism and gas guzzling which rather brilliantly encapsulates America's financial and energy crises in one fell swoop."
