Forget yellow brick roads. Stroll down the diamond lane instead.

Raining Jane sings and plays with the cohesion of a blues quartet that has been jamming together in the same smoke filled night spot almost forever. But theirs is an outdoor gig on a clear summer night lit by a bright moon in soaring melodies and angelic harmonies. These women have paid their fair share of dues, and they are winning. "Wyoming Sky" is a road song, but it elevates like transcendentalist poetry. "Window Song" unlocks rusty chains with a turning to sieze the day. They flash a thinly veiled, chilled-out punk attitude. They serve devotion en Francaise. Raining Jane gives the pleasure of one sublime night in a minute that lasts a lifetime. They show the impossibility of love without risk. A leap of trust depends on truth to yourself without shame. They hate the cloying greed of grasping after empty presence with naked aggression. Their funk au go go come hither groove is a haunted moment generating pure heat. The most they ask is to let their delicate torch song glow. Their ringing call promises a joined struggle born from the ashes of senseless destruction. The thing to do is to listen again and again.

Every single on the cd is a gorgeous musical journey. The women beautifully blend folk, funk, pop, and rock. Sound like those genres don't mix? With this band, they do, and wonderfully! I was first introduced to Raining Jane during a superb college performance, and listen to this cd often. "Birthday Malaise" and "Fashionable" are just waiting to tear up a college radio station. Give this one a listen. You won't regret it.
