"There's a lot to like about this song and I like them all. From the opening guitar intro through the great vocal sound of the way you phrase "ch-a-eee-n-ge". You nailed it.
Killer vocals, killer lyrics, mix, arrangement and production. Top notch at every level.
This one is enjoyable from start to finish."
Your friend,
Tim McGraw
(That's what I think he'd say if he heard this song...... Might add he's taking to his next recording session as well..... It's that good. )

No doubt that is the funniest review I have ever gotten. I really laughed out loud. Thanks Charlie for all the great comments on my songs. Tom Very cool tone. Loved the jangly guitars in the intro.
Super vocal and excellent lyric. We are having the exact opposite up here in Northern Canada. Raining everyday. Ground is just so over saturated. I agree that this is the new normal. Weather storms becoming more intense. Kind of gets you thinking.... Thanks Scott. Stay dry. At this point that's about all we can do. Tom

We just came in from a hike around the homestead and noticed the hickory nuts all over the trail that have fallen early due to how dry it's been...but only a couple months ago we had deluges on a regular basis. Made it easy to drop into this tune. Not that we needed prompting as it presents all of the tommyad signature goodies. A clever write, great vocal/guitar performance all embedded in that easy to take for granted "big studio" sound. Easy to take for granted until you try to duplicate it  Janice loved the, as she says, "little lines he plays between the verses - I don't know how to say it!" She is now scat singing them. Terrific production Mr Adams! J&B

As others have said, great production and singing. So nice to have the chorus payoff as well as it does here.

nice work again Tom!
Melodic, excellent guitar work and excellent vocals.
Rob Glad you liked it! Tom "maybe we prayed a little too hard for rain"
Great line to write a song around.
Everything up to the high standard that you have been setting for quite some time now - the write, the production, the vocal, the geetar... love those drums...
A "sneaky catchy" song - as many of yours are... they stick in your head without even realizing they will.... I hear them hours later...
You are a pro, Tom.
(we get the same weather... though often a few hours later... what a dry spell! and now we are worrying about when this rain will end...)
As odd as it seems, I didn't have that line in the beginning. It just popped out as I was writing. The write started at the first line in a linear fashion and I just rolled with the muse. Thanks for the great review. Tom

When the guitar sings a magnetic opening groove, and you're saying "WOW", you know it's another Tommyad classic!! Grabs you from the first moment and never lets you down. Fun, clever, and so well constructed, played, arranged. That's about as high as I've ever heard you on the lead vocal Tom. Just a great song in every way!! Every year, when Winter ends, I always find myself feeling like it's too soon. After all the rain this year, driving blind with rain hammering the windshield a half dozen times, I was happy to have an end to it. But, may find myself begging for rain in another year. Crazy times! Take care. Greg Hey Greg, thanks for all those nice things. Appreciated. Tom Tom,
Outstanding! I can't say enough good things about this one... Great melody, guitar, RTs, and stellar vocal.
BTW, this is an absolutely great line: "maybe we prayed a little too hard for rain".
It does not get better than this...
Bob That sure is a great review Bob. Thanks, Tom

You did it again! Another great listen. As always, your guitar work fits like a glove and is so tasty. You vocals shine, as they always do. Some great lines in this one. Other than these criticisms, I thought this was really good.
I am a big fan.

Tom, man those guitars sound great! The tag line in the chorus is fantastic! A very original sounding piece of music with your signature "great mix sound". This is another good one. Thanks, Torrey. I'm always glad to see you check in Torrey. Thanks for the wonderful comments. Tom Thanks for stopping by, Tom

Thanks for sharing Tommy! You nailed the intro on this, grabs you by the face right away. The production is on point as well, you utilized just the right amount of reverb. Not mention A+ on the vocals! One word for the whole song I'd use to describe it would be "attention grabbing." Great song, you should be proud of this one! Deryk, Thanks for coming by for a listen. I appreciate the great comments, Tom
Very pleasant listening.
Excellent lyrics.
Also where I live here in Italy we have those climatic events.
Just yesterday after 35°/36° - air humidity 50 %, a heavy rain suddenly.
Never seen just 10 years ago.
Sergio
Sergio, glad you liked it. Tom

Hey Tom,
This is so danged cool! You always have such a great nmix. Your intros and lead riffs always are in the face but in a good way. This is a super song in all respects! Thanks for such a terrific listen! Cool!!!
Alan & Di
Thanks Alan. I guess us guitar players like it loud. I'm glad you gave it a spin, Tom "Maybe we prayed a little too hard for rain."
Classic!
Sorry to hear about your deluge man, but it sure did produce a great song.
Very, very tight production, excellent lyrics and production.
Another excellent work. Thank You David, Tom

Tommy,
As I write this you're on your way to NC and I think you must have brought the rain with you... the bottom dropped out about an hour ago and put down so much that I got water in the basement (that has never happened before)
Anyway, I always like the way you add your own playing to create a hook.. it gives all your songs a personal touch and a unique sound .
Your songs are consistently among my favorites here on the forum, and I thank you for helping to keep the rest of us inspired!

Hello, Tom
The guitar phrasing at Intro that comes out many times is super cool.
It is a very catchy melody that attracts attention of the listeners.
Your vocals and guitar playing are superb as usual.
By the way, I tried to drink your bourbon recommendation-Elijah Craig.
It (12 years old) was very very splendid.
Thank you so much for your teaching it to me.
I thought that it might taste like Wild Turkey a little.
Very enjoyable listen.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi
