Editorial Reviews
With her new album, Greenwich Time, Broadway star Rebecca Luker (The Secret Garden, Show Boat, The Sound of Music, The Music Man, Nine: The Musical) gives voice to the work of bold new songwriters while honoring a generation of musical theatre giants - including Jule Styne, John Kander and Maury Yeston - with some of their most deeply personal dramatic ballads. Greenwich Time's daring collection of songs celebrates the anticipation, joy, and wonderment of love, and Luker's shimmering, soaring soprano embraces every note. Each song stands as a self-contained moment of intimacy, at turns comic, tender, and breathtaking, as in 'Summer With You,' the world premiere of the rare song with both music and lyrics by John Kander; the shattering 'Killing Time,' by Jule Styne & Carolyn Leigh; Paul Loesel & Scott Burkell's thrilling 'Ohio, 1904;' and Joseph Thalken & Marshall Barer's witty, sardonic 'Billions of Beautiful Boys.'

A peak in a great career,

This review is from: Greenwich Time (Audio CD)
A friend gave me Rebecca Luker's Cole Porter CD for my birthday back in 1996, and I've been a casual fan ever since. While that CD and "Leaving Home" have their moments, "Greenwich Time" is something else entirely - a challenging, beautiful collection of eclectic material creatively arranged and stunningly sung. Luker has given thought and care to her approach with each song, and the material she has chosen is brilliant. My favorites are ballads like "Have Had" and "Out of Love," while "Lovely Lies" dives deep into the conflict the character feels between her traditional Southern upbringing and her more liberal leanings. Bravo to Luker and her collaborators - this is a theater CD for the long term.

So many of the tracks were new to me and she made them perfect (as if they were old standards to me) upon the very first listen. Not everyone can do that. Rebecca is so special and she has stunning taste. Two of the tracks were not ideal for me and three of them were so good I had to play them over 12 times in a row. I'm so glad she made this album.
