RAIN SONGS
VA - Feels Like Rain Vol. 3, Powerpop Edition (A Butterboy Compilation) CD1+CD2+CD3
Rains songs are plentiful in rock music, they are often songs about emotions but can also be just about rain.
This set is part of a 10 Volume series that explores the RAIN in song. Each volume has from 60 - 100 tracks. You may be surprised to hear that I have culled this down from over 20 volumes worth of material.
This is the third volume is given to some of the rain songs that I enjoy in the Powerpop genre.
Other volumes to follow, will include rain song in Rock, Folk Rock, Folk, Psychedelic Rock, Sunshine pop, Blues, Soul and other themed categories. Enjoy!

I suppose the Temptations would not really meet the "Powerpop" criteria?

Hi Stephen,
DeleteCloudy here. Wet sometimes.
There will hopefully be a soul version too.
Cheers.
Thanks. Rain is liquid sunshine.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this compilation.
ReplyDeleteFYI: There seems to be a problem with track 8 of CD2 Nick Lowe - Raining, Raining.
MP3Tag doesn't list any bitrate info, can't be fixed with MP3Diags, doesn't play.
Hi Jazzy,
DeleteNo sure what's going on, but it works fine at my end. Here is a link to the track.

Thanks for the file. Must have been an unzip error on my end running multiple processes on my computer.
