Hugh Laurie - Didn't It Rain (2013) FLAC

Didn't It Rain is the second album from Hugh Laurie. The album, like its predecessor Let Them Talk, contains blues songs, Laurie plays piano and guitar on the album, as well as providing vocals.

After the huge success of his debut album Let Them Talk on which he celebrated and revived classic material from the world of NOLA blues, Hugh Laurie release his second album Didn’t It Rain on May 6th on Warner Music Entertainment.
‘Didn’t It Rain’ sees Hugh Laurie depart the sounds of New Orleans as he follows the trajectory of the blues upstream and into the American heartland.
It includes songs dating back to early pioneers W.C. Handy (‘St Louis. Blues’) and Jelly Roll Morton (‘I Hate A Man Like You’) to more recent artists such as Dr. John (‘Wild Honey’) and Alan Price of The Animals (‘Changes’).

Complemented with the heart and accomplishment of his supporting musicians the Copper Bottom Band – Jay Bellerose, Kevin Breit, Vincent Henry, Greg Leisz, Robby Marshall, David Piltch and Patrick Warren with Elizabeth Lea and Larry Goldings – the album also features several lead vocal performances from Guatemalan singer-songwriter Gaby Moreno and soul singer Jean McClain who has previously worked with artists as varied as Jimmy Cliff and Sheryl Crow. The album also highlights a very special guest in the shape of the Grammy-winning blues artist Taj Mahal who contributes vocals to a new take on Little Brother Montgomery’s ‘Vicksburg Blues’.
