Jennifer Rush Album: “Now Is the Hour”

I too cannot understand why Jennifer Rush has not 'made it' in the United States. Her voice is phenomenal! I have been a fan of her since I was in my early teens. I can remember listening to her on the way to school each morning, so much so that the tapes eventually warped.

I have subsequently replaced all of these tapes with CDs. Her voice is timeless, and this album is no exception. The choice of songs is rich and varied, and will appeal to a wide audience (see the descriptions of the songs in the review above).

If you want a CD that is well-produced, that contains beautiful music, and superb singing, buy a copy of this.

I recommend going to Amazon.de as it is a lot cheaper.

Happy listening, and thanks Jenny for another superb album; your music is fantastic.

This is one of the greatest female voices of all times who co-wrote and sang the worldwide smash ballad "Power Of Love" in 1984.

How she has not conquered the U.S. market is a mystery that is beyond belief.

This is the best Jennifer has ever sounded. The production level is superb. All i can say is do not hesitate i first heard one song on the radio and rushed out to buy it. My favourite has to be " I never asked for an angel". Lyrics are superb and Jennifer delivers you an angel in each and every word. I listen to this albumn daily for two months now.

I have been a hardcore fan of Jennifer's since 1985 and this CD is well worth the 10 plus year wait since her last release. It seamlessly fuses rock, dance, pop, gospel and ballads into a complete barn-burner! The production is very, very modern and sophisticated, while keeping the warmth we have come to expect from her very unique voice. Why she is not a superstar in the US still amazes me. This would appeal to any fan of Celine Dion, Annie Lennox or other similar Divas of that kind.

She has worked with the biggest names in the production and vocal industry over the years and has maintained her huge audience throught the Germanic countries. Hopefully with the right marketing and a stroke of sheer luck, US audiences will finally have a chance to hear and fall in love with the voice that those of us fortunate enough to have long since discovered. Do not miss this album! I think it it is the most complete album she has ever done (and that is saying something).....
