The Saturday/Monday episode is usually new show but the first hour features the re-broadcast of a stellar musical session.

Grammy-Award winning, singer/songwriter Paula Cole rediscovers her love of music with her new CD, Courage, her first album in eight years. When asked what Courage means to Paula Cole, she says the word was her daily mantra when recording the record, making for a fitting title. Simply put Cole says, “I am searching for the truth. Somewhere, it's in the music.”

An intimate and heartfelt collection of songs, Courage is poised to re-establish Cole’s seminal role among the top female recording artists today. Delivered with raw emotional honesty, the singer reveals a rare, disarming vulnerability with these eleven new songs. Her arresting vocals and top-notch songwriting also shine, with highlights including “Comin’ Down,” the striking opening track (co-penned with guitarist Dean Parks), “14,” the memorable anthem co-written with Patrick Leonard (Madonna, Roger Waters), and the confessional “El Greco” (co-penned with Mark Goldenberg).

The album also features guest appearances from the legendary Herbie Hancock on the haunting track, “Lonelytown,” renowned producer David Foster, who guests as pianist on “In Our Dreams,” the distinctive vocals of Paul Buchanan of Blue Nile fame on, “Until I Met You,” and the Brazilian singer/songwriter Ivan Lins on the samba-laced, “Hard To Be Soft.”

Worth the Wait: Seven years ago, Paula Cole walked away from the music industry and never looked back. Until now.
