Buddy Guy - Feels Like Rain

2014 European CD reissue.

Feels Like Rain is the eighth studio album by Buddy Guy, released in 1993.

The album includes Paul Rodgers, Travis Tritt, and John Mayall. The finest combination comes when Bonnie Raitt joins Guy on John Hiatt’s “Feels Like Rain.” Raitt’s gritty vocals and sweet slide guitar add a pleasing nuance to the bittersweet track, and it is ultimately the high point of the record. Buddy Guy sounds fantastic in unconventional situations (witness his burning version of the Moody Blues’ “I Go Crazy”). Guy’s vocals, often under-appreciated, really sell this song. On up-tempo R&B tracks such as the Paul Rodgers duet “Some Kind of Wonderful” or Guy’s pairing with Travis Tritt on “Change in the Weather,” the bluesman sounds excited and fresh.
