News Track Listing Revealed for Kate Baldwin's Harburg & Lane CD PS Classics, the label dedicated to the heritage of Broadway music and American popular song, announced a release date and track listing for the debut solo album of Kate Baldwin, the singing actress now in rehearsal to play Sharon in the new Broadway revival of Finian's Rainbow.

"Let's See What Happens," devoted to songs penned by Burton Lane and E.Y. Harburg, both separately and together, will be released in stores Oct. 20. Rob Berman serves as music director; the orchestrations are by Jason Robert Brown, Sam Davis, Joel Fram, Steve Marzullo, Joshua Rosenblum, Georgia Stitt, Joseph Thalken and Jonathan Tunick. The album, which features a special appearance by Jonathan Tunick and His Broadway Moonlighters, is produced by PS Classics co-founder Tommy Krasker.

Baldwin told Playbill.com in June, "I had the extraordinary good fortune to star in Finian's Rainbow this spring [in the Encores! concert series] and fell in love with Burton Lane and Yip Harburg all over again. I have such a strong, personal connection to their work — I've loved Burton Lane's beautiful melodies for years and am still discovering Yip Harburg lyrics that delight me. I felt like they'd be the perfect companions as I embark on my first solo album."
