Purple Rain
I can't imagine anyone being more sincere than old what's his name, but this singer sounds like he's just settin' on that porch with a few friends, waiting for a break in the clouds and gettin' into a bit of a jam, noodlin' the hours and those blues away. Pull up a chair. -- J. Strell

Vancouver Rain
You might not know it, but the island of Vancouver tends to shield the city of Vancouver from the worst of the storms that ravage the north Pacific, but it can still get pretty wet. Not that you could tell from this cheery, -6s surf music influenced number. -- J. Strell

English Rain
The English have always had a chip on their shoulder about their weather, although everyone knows the wettest place on earth, with an average of over 472 inches or 39 feet (12 meters) of precipitation each year, is Mt. Waialeale on Hawaii's Kauai. But don't let that stop you from enjoying this wailing anthem to our favorite subject by our friends from across the pond. -- J. Strell
