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.

The Rain – Oran “juice” Jones
Rain – SWV

Hmm, on second thought, maybe not.

Actually, I forgot one:

I can’t stand the rain – Ann Peebles

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?

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

Yea, you got me there. I also forgot ‘Raindance’ by Guess Who – chack that one out.

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

Tell me what you're thinking...

All That Jazz: In Celebration of Jazz Appreciation Month

I don’t talk about my love for jazz enough on this blog so I figure jazz appreciation month is the perfect time to do so. I have to admit that my knowledge is lacking. Mama Vivrant Thang was never really into jazz so it wasn’t played much around the house. She did love Kenny G though and [...]

Fusion: Where Music, Technology, and Artist Creativity Intersect

Hello readers and listeners. I trust all is well today. This post is a follow-up to the previous post about the subject of an upcoming podcast I hope to resurrect entitled Fusion. The concept of this podcast came to me via an off the cuff discussion I had a few years ago with a fellow podcaster/recording artist/graphic designer. Both of us, being musicians in our own right, began discussing our backgrounds and influences in making music, which invariably talking about how technology (past and present) played a role taking the music from inner to outer. I began to see the different paths ...
