Rebecca Luker (1961-2020)
We don’t have the proper words to express our sorrow over the passing of our dear friend Rebecca Luker. From the moment we met her in the mid-‘80s, she became a close friend. In 2003, just three years after we started this label, she came to us with a new solo album that she wanted us to have, and from that point on, she entrusted us with all her recordings. And we were forever asking her to star on various studio albums and songbooks that we were releasing, because there was no one we enjoyed working with more. It wasn’t just the voice, which of course was unmatched: it was her passion and dedication and fierce intelligence. Tommy once said, “If I could have Rebecca Luker on every album I made, I would be the happiest producer in the world.“ RIP, dear friend. We shall miss you dearly. – Tommy & Philip |

all the girls
From the moment we heard Rebecca Luker and Sally Wilfert perform their two-woman show All the Girls in the fall of 2019, we knew we had to record it. The two had worked for years perfecting a show that celebrated women “in all of our messy wonderfulness,” as they put it, and the resulting evening was powerful and passionate and deeply moving – everything we most gravitate and respond to here at PS Classics. And we must admit, too, that there are few artists we enjoy working with as much in the studio as Rebecca and Sally. Every experience with them has been a joy, and the last time we had both of them in the studio, for our cast recording of Sweet Little Devil, it was one of the highlights of our 20 years running this label. Their amazing music director Joe Thalken graciously agreed to expand the ensemble from 4 to 10 for the album, and did so with grace and brilliance, and we’re so delighted to be unveiling the results for you. All the Girls will be available at digital and streaming sites on Christmas Day, with a hard-goods release to follow. In the meantime you can read more, see the track listing and hear soundclips here. |
