Album Notes

*The Rain Takes Off Her Clothes* is acoustic, jazz-rooted guitar-songs with influence from India and Africa. Its lyrics often spring from poets such as Emily Dickinson and Pablo Neruda. By turns sultry, thoughtful, and funny, *Rain* is toe-tapping and global in its approach, yet distinctly American.

From *Rain*’s “I Was a Valley”:

I was a valley
‘cause your water let me grow
now I’m a dry ravine
where before the sea could wind
a dry ravine without the water
a bed of sand, feeling so thirsty
when you passed through me
you left your salt behind

An album for every listener, *The Rain Takes Off Her Clothes* satisfies our erotic longing, our whimsy, and our deepest heart-searching.

Sophisticated, sensuous, full bodied music!

Immensely satisfying . . . vocals sweet as honey, musicianship yeasty as home made bread and a sound as fat and satisfying as fresh churned butter . . . I could feast on this sound forever!
