Search - Road To Blue :: Richer For Rain

Richer For Rain, 11 original songs of true love and heartache, loss and redemption, aching loneliness and raucous joy, is the powerful debut release of ROAD TO BLUE, the roots/rock/r&b project of singer/songwriter Lorraine Devon Wilke. Written, arranged, and produced by Devon Wilke and Rick M. Hirsch, Richer For Rain is an eclectic album that manages to be both rowdy and profound, traveling through roots/acoustic territory, straight up rock and rock/blues, soulful story songs, and even a touch of salsa. Co-produced by John Perez, Richer For Rain features Devon Wilke's trademark vocals with their combination of grit and tenderness, as well as the exceptional talents of Hirsch on guitar, Tony Brock (Rod Stewart, The Babys) on drums and percussion, Will MacGregor (Tori Amos, Exene Cervenka) on bass, Chris Many on keys, and Sandra Beane on cello. Richer For Rain is a work of exceeding intelligence and kick-ass artistry that, as one fan so succinctly put it, "brings the listener from the all-too-often pain of life's necessary lessons to the understanding that sunshine is fully appreciated only after a storm."
