A masterpiece of sophistication and light that heralded the dawn of Japanese blues.A masterpiece album by Yanagi George & Rainy Wood, packed with urban melancholy and masculine passion. The ultimate blues rock with English lyrics. "Weeping in the Rain" is the second album by George Yanagi & Rainywood, and one of the most important works in Japanese rock history. Lyrically composed entirely in English, the album is based on blues and funk with a Southern American flavor, and is exquisitely intertwined with George Yanagi's soulful vocals and melancholic guitar. The title track, "Weeping in the Rain," bursts with emotions of loneliness and melancholy, capturing the hearts of listeners wandering the city at night. Its sophisticated arrangements and unconventional groove were exceptionally refined for the time, and it remains a landmark in "Japanese blues rock." The entire album flows like the story of one night, and you won't want to miss a beat, even down to the final sound of rain. |
