<i>Night Sessions</i> 2001 studio album by Chris Botti

Night Sessions is the fourth studio album by trumpet player Chris Botti. This is his first album to be released by Columbia Records on October 2, 2001.

I had been on the road for two straight years when I found myself with a window of only ten weeks to write and record this album. I felt energized by the challenge and asked my friend, Kipper, to co-write and produce. Renting a house in the Hollywood Hills where we could work and live, with ample room for other musicians and friends, we started composing material. We sensed freedom after dark - the phone was quieter and there were less distractions around the house as the light of the LA basin began to glow. We recorded only after the sun had set, often until it rose the next morning. These are the "Night Sessions." Enjoy. Chris Botti

<i>Glee: The Music, Volume 2</i> 2009 soundtrack album by Glee Cast

Glee: The Music, Volume 2 is the second soundtrack album by the cast of the American musical television series Glee, featuring songs from episodes nine to thirteen of the show's first season. It was first released on December 4, 2009 in Australia by Columbia Records. It has been certified platinum in Canada and Australia, and gold in the United Kingdom and the United States. Volume 2 received mixed reviews from critics, who praised the vocals of cast members Lea Michele, Amber Riley, and Kevin McHale, but felt the album was weak in arrangements and similar to a collection of karaoke tracks. All tracks were released as singles and performed on the series, with the exception of "Don't Make Me Over"—only an instrumental version was used.

"Someday Soon" is a song composed by Canadian singer-songwriter Ian Tyson who recorded the song with Sylvia Fricker as the duo Ian & Sylvia in 1963. Cited by Richie Unterberger of Allmusic as "clearly point[ing] toward [its writer's] future C&W/cowboy direction", "Someday Soon" would be brought to prominence via a 1968 recording by Judy Collins, and subsequently recorded by a number of artists primarily in the country and western field. In 2010 "Someday Soon" was honored by the Western Writers of America as one of the "Top 100 Western Songs" of all time.
