George Yanagi & Rainy Wood - Weeping In The Rain (2015) Hi-Res

George Yanagi & Rainy Wood, who went on tour with Kenichi Hagiwara after producing the first album, will steadily gain a track record as a live band. The title tune of their second album "WEEPING IN THE RAIN", which was released less than half a year after the previous work, is an English version of their famous song "Weeping IN The Rain ...". While George Yanagi / Katsuhiko Kamitsuna / Kiyoto Ishii used the pen as the three pillars of Bunt's songwriting, the bassist changed during the recording of this work, and Mickey Yamamoto, who joined as a new member, participated from the chorus at the end of the recording. That is. Yanagi's band's concept was to use the iron-walled chorus, which is one of the greatest attractions of Rainy Wood, but his mother's womb was when the young superclass Ishii was based in Hiroshima, where he was born. It is said that it was built in. It is Mr. Stevie Sekiguchi, an old friend of Yanagi, who participates in Track 2. as a guest vocalist and shows off his mastery throat. Track 3. is just like Otis Redding, but it seems that Frankie Miller's influence of blue-eyed soul was stronger for them at that time than Stax sound. There is Akiko Wada version on Track 9, and both of them co-starred in a nostalgic TV program. After the recording of this work, George Yanagi & Rainy Wood went on tour with Kenichi Hagiwara again. Akio Suzuki, a saxophone who later became an official member, stood on the same stage there.
