I first heard of Rebecca when she appeared on the Conan O'Brien show.
She was introduced as a member of some Royal acting company, and
she is the present wife of playwright David Mamet, who co-wrote
many of the songs on the album with her. The album is released on the
Chesky label in the US. This is an audiophile label, and they
use 128-times oversampling in their digital recording. This is the
first true folk-pop recording they have released (I'm not really counting
Sara K). I don't know if they have a UK distribution agreement, but you
may wish to try import shops, or HiFi shops who sell audiophile recordings.
The release number is Chesky JD115. You could try writing direct
to Chesky at the following address:
Chesky Records
PO Box 1268
Radio City Station
New York, NY 10101
BTW the recording quality is IMPECCABLE!
She does one cover on the album -- Spanish Harlem.
