Didn't It Rain by Hugh Laurie
Didn't It Rain is Hugh Laurie's release from 2013, a record that leans on tone and touch. It runs to 53 minutes across 13 tracks on Warner Bros.. I reached it late and it has stayed with me.
Why listen?
The playing is expressive and rooted, every note bent for feeling rather than show. The band keeps it lean and lets the guitar and voice lead. It is a record about tone, touch, and timing.
Favourite song: Wild Honey
Wild Honey is the high point of the record, the moment where everything comes together. It rewards repeat listening.
Wild honey
Makes me feel like twice the man I used to be
Wild honey, wild honey
Wild honey
Makes me feel like twice the man I used to be
Wild honey, wild honey
Key takeaway
Didn't It Rain is a fine place to start. A gentle recommendation.
