'Sandhog' is a musical adaptation of 'St. Columbia and the River' a story by Theodore Dreiser about the tunnel workers, known as 'sandhogs,' who built the first tunnel under the Hudson River. Featuring music by Earl Robinson and lyrics by Waldo Salt. \r

Earl Robinson and Waldo Salt's 1956 recording of 'Sandhog' now makes its debut on CD. The release also includes a selection of bonus tracks featuring recordings of the show's main theme 'Katie-O' / 'Johnny-O' as covered by Edmund Hockridge, Felicia Sanders and Vince Martin.\r
\r

The musical opened at New York's Phoenix Theatre in November 1954 featuring a cast that included Jack Cassidy, Alice Ghostley, David Brooks and Betty Oakes. The production closed after 48 performances and the show went unrecorded. In 1956, Earl Robinson and Waldo Salt recorded an album of 'Sandhog' with Robinson singing the score accompanying himself on piano and Salt providing linking narration. The album was subsequently issued on the Vanguard label and has since become regarded as one of the most sought after and collectable musical theatre recordings. \r
