Didn't It Rain

Didn't It Rain is the second studio album by English actor and musician Hugh Laurie. Recorded in Ocean Way Studios in Los Angeles, the album contains several blues songs (like its predecessor). Unlike his previous album, however, Laurie also branches further into other Southern US and South American genres, including as Jazz, R&B, and Tango. Laurie once again plays piano and guitar and provides vocals, with the Copper Bottom Band playing additional instruments; similarly to Let Them Talk, a range of guest musicians also join Laurie on the album to provide vocals, with appearances including Gaby Moreno, Jean McClain, and Taj Mahal. Didn't It Rain was released in the UK on 6 May 2013, with iTunes providing pre-order and digital releases, and Amazon providing vinyl prints and a special book edition. As a promotion for a Huffington Post interview regarding Laurie's album and and upcoming tour, the album had a 24 hour free streaming period in several international countries.
