Album Notes

Music can sometimes fixate on either pain or easy answers but The Smell of Rain by Katy Wehr explores the space between those two extremes, giving voice to genuine struggle and exploring the rocky path toward resolution.

With strong, clear vocals and an Americana sound that leans now toward folk, now toward alt-country, Katy Wehr uses sparse lyrics and natural imagery to tell stories about loneliness, fear, forgiveness and the stirrings of hope.


Songs from The Smell of Rain have recently been featured on BBC Northern Ireland's Rhythm and Soul, The Hugh Hewitt Show, Wisconsin Public Radio's Simply Folk, Northwest Public Radio's Inland Folk, North Carolina Public Radio's Back Porch Music and Minnesota Public Radio- The Current's Morning Show.

All Songs are also available individually through ITunes, Rhapsody, MSN Music, BuyMusic, MusicNet, Napster, MP3tunes and Yahoo Music Match.

REVIEWS

Well written, well performed.
author: Dan Magnuson
I first heard Katie when she sang track 4 at our church. I was sitting up straight by the second line and ready to buy the CD by the end of the song. The album repays many listenings. My favorite (a fabulously written song!) is Trouble and Sorrrow. There are several strong songs on this album. And, of course, her voice is great.

Put this record on, and suddenly you're home.

When I listened to the record I was impressed, to say the least. Katy has built her songs on the firm foundation of folk, both lyrically and musically. She tells a good story and invites us in to her experience; we might even be changed as a result. The record seems to be fuelled by a deeper joy than mere happiness. And musically, this one's worth listening to on the headphones.
