Weather Forecast: It Looks Like Rain…

Just a quick heads up in case you are interested. I have a new mix I’ve just put the finishing touches on and will be posting over on RIBS sometime over the next couple of days (definitely trying to get it up before the end of the weekend).

We’re gonna be in for some stormy weather this time, as the new mix is built around a “rain” theme. Appropriately titled, “In The Rain”, this one is a collection of songs that have to do with inclement weather: the kind that’s in our hearts, in our minds and even the kind that literally soaks us to the bone.

Teaser… you just know that Brooke Benton, “Rainy Night In Georgia” is in there, as well as The Temptations’, “I Wish It Would Rain”. Now the question is, what other rain songs are in the mix?

Coming soon, watch for it.

  8. Hey, hey! Good stuff keep ‘em comin’.

    The Oran “Juice” Jones song definitely qualifies as a “rain” song. I love Ann Peebles’ “I Can’t Stand The Rain”, but have you checked out the versions by Graham Central Station and especially Tina Turner?

  10. Kevin, Kevin, Kevin… I’m disappointed man {smile}. No “Have You Ever Seen The Rain” and/or “Who’ll Stop The Rain” by CCR?

  14. The Tina Turner one, yes, but not the Graham Central Station. I will be checking that one out.
