Annie & Rod Capps - Love and Rain (2023) [gnodde]



The title of this album by Annie & Rod Capps comes from recurring threads that connect these light-hearted observations and playful love songs that showed up over the past couple of years.

Annie's songwriting style often takes on a conversational tone and the album kicks off with "Mr Crow" where you'll find her contemplating a past life as a bird. "Old Spice & Patchouli" and "Bell Bottoms & Leather" both look at the old adage "opposites attract" and how love works in mysterious ways. A trip to New Orleans inspired the lament "Lightning Strike" about our attraction to things and people that are bad for us. "Little Black Dress" and "We Need the Rain" tip the hat to a dear friend who passed away suddenly while exploring the bigger picture of how the hard times allow us to appreciate the good times. "The Way It Goes" and "Anything But You" both dance with the notion that complaining is pointless and though she never actually comes out and says the words, there is a deeper message of gratitude just below the surface in all of these songs.
