Record you spin on a rainy Saturday w/ family gone


Sitting here, flipping through my collection, on a rainy saturday wondering what vynil to load. Too overcast for the uplifting Beatles, too overcast for the mellow Pink Floyd. Would consider Hendrix or Neil Young...... Wondering what everyone listens to on days like these, oh the possabilities!

Well Sunday is upon me and still raining. Some very good suggestions thus far, keep them coming. Thinking for today's line up: The Who (Love reign o'er me), Clapton (Let it rain), Greatful Dead (Box of rain), etc. I have decided to embrace the rain!
How about "Rainy Day Music" by the Jayhawks? Play it from front to back--some nice mellow acoustic songs coupled with a few up tempo numbers so you don't loose your will to live. Nicely recorded and melodically sublime.
I have two I listen to on rainy days. Side two of Caravan's IN THE LAND OF GRAY AND PINK and John Klemmer's album LIFESTYLES.
Vibist Gary Burton did a collaboration album with jazz violin legend Stephane Grappelli called "Paris Encounter." It has one of the most achingly beautiful renditions of "Here's That Rainy Day" you could hope for.

John Fogerty/CCR: "Have You Ever Seen the Rain?"

Gordon Lightfoot: "Rainy Day People" Actually, the whole "Gord's Gold" double album is a great one for a rainy day.
Okay...no one knows me from Adams house cat so I'll spill. I'm sure its just remembering a time in my life but..."Shadow Dancing" Andy Gibb!....There...I said it! My name is Dean and I'm a Gibb fan.

BTW...it will empty a room of unwanted teenagers too.
