So a few night’s ago I posted at Facebook of listening to The Rainmakers “The Good News and the Bad News” from ’89 in BB the car recently (what? I name things). I pulled it out after month’s long constant listens, as I’ve already told, of the new album from the Rave-Ups, 32 years after the last, and when looking to grab a couple of older Rave-Ups for a revisit it sat right there, just waiting on a tangent (yes, my CD’s are in alphabetical order, roughly, so thus).
On a tangent then took me to The Rainmaker’s second album “Tornado”. Now, I haven’t listened to this one in years, it was ranked #3 for me of their initial three albums that I remember so fondly, but in this new listen I immediately harked back to this one and sang along waaaay too loudly in early morning traffic windows down with every word suddenly coming back to me like it was yesterday … and also with a few curious commuting looks.
“The Wages of Sin”.
Man the wondrous irreverence.
“And I realized then that the wages of sin, was all the lumber you can carry, all the nails you can bend””
Rock on someone said once.
Interesting sound, not my cup of tea. But I do love learning about bands I never heard of.

Understood on the not cup of tea, we all have things that strike a chord or not. I’ve just always revisiting these guys.
