“In his aptly titled ‘I Know More Now,’ Brian De Lorenzo shows that he does, indeed know more about beautiful singing, more about matters of the heart, and more about life, and we are the lucky recipients of this knowledge channeled through his artistry.

“In his aptly titled ‘I Know More Now,’ Brian De Lorenzo shows that he does, indeed know more about beautiful singing, more about matters of the heart, and more about life, and we are the lucky recipients of this knowledge channeled through his artistry. In this collection of cabaret and theater standards, some lesser-known gems, some comedy songs, and (my favorite part) three of my songs, elegantly accompanied by Doug Hammer, Brian consistently offers beautiful, simple readings that allow the songs to shine through.

"Although the title of Brian De Lorenzo's Found Treasures refers to the songs it contains, the cabaret singer is one himself. Possessing a clear tenor which he uses with earnest emotional intensity, De Lorenzo sings with complete commitment. Some of his selections may not have been "lost" to Show Music readers, but the 19 numbers form an appealing program. And where else would you be likely to hear Angel's "Astoria Gloria" and "How Do You Say Goodbye?," Romance/Romance's "Words He Doesn't Say," and 3 Guys Naked From the Waist Down's "I Don't Believe in Heroes Anymore?" De Lorenzo's sincerity makes familiar songs such as "Who Will Buy?" (Oliver!), "Do I Hear a Waltz?" and "Tonight at Eight" (She Loves Me) seem fresh."

This musical recording was created as a tribute to young Judy Garland and the songs her mother, father, sisters and she sang on the vaudeville stage. A cast of six, including three little girls, perform these wonderful old songs.
