FEELS LIKE RAIN is an album by Buddy Guy, released on 9th March 1993 through Silvertone Records. This is the eighth studio album by Buddy Guy. Most blues musicians need the spark of energy from a live audience to bring out their best. B.B. King’s legendary Live At The Regal album is testament to the symbiotic relationship between a performer and crowd that can produce a truly magical performance. Guitarist-singer Buddy Guy may just be the exception to the rule. He seems to be better off in the isolated confines of a recording studio. His album, FEELS LIKE RAIN, shows why. In concert, Guy can’t resist over-the-top theatrics that are guaranteed to whip an audience into a frenzy. But his music sometimes takes a back seat to his show-boating. Here, all effort is directed to the songs, and Guy sounds magnificent. Plus, unlike in concert, he actually finishes every song. It’s his R&B-soul - side that’s most often on display, in covers ranging from Marvin Gaye’s “Trouble Man”, which he handles with the requisite gossamer falsetto, to John Fogerty’s swampy “Change In The Weather”, a duet with country bad boy Travis Tritt. John Hiatt’s title track shows Guy’s plaintive side, with a smidgen of oh-so-sweet vocal help from guest Bonnie Raitt. Elsewhere, he taps a sad-from-the-soles-up quality reminiscent of Clarence Carter and Brook Benton. His guitar work also remains skillfully reined in and... as everyone knows, it’s far more rewarding to watch a thoroughbred that sticks to the race track than one that careens wildly through the parking lot.

On Buddy Guy's second Silvertone release, he continues the practice of guest appearances begun on Damn Right, I've Got The Blues. In this case, the notables include Paul Rodgers, Travis Tritt, and John Mayall. The finest combination comes when Bonnie Raitt joins Guy on John Hiatt's "Feels Like Rain". Raitt's gritty vocals and sweet slide guitar add a pleasing nuance to the bittersweet track, and it is ultimately the high point of the record. Buddy Guy sounds fantastic in these blues unconventional situations. Guy's vocals, often under appreciated, really sell this songs. As for his guitar playing, he often sounds sloppy and unfocused, an extremely noticeable exception being his explosive solo on the John Mayall duet "I Could Cry", but his singing, especially on the soulful "Feels Like Rain," is full of character. Guy has recorded better blues in his career, but on FEELS LIKE RAIN he shows that he is comfortable in more mainstream situations as well. On up-tempo R&B tracks such as the Paul Rodgers duet "Some Kind Of Wonderful" or Guy's pairing with Travis Tritt on "Change In The Weather", the bluesman sounds excited and fresh. It must be mentioned that many of the tracks simply do not pack enough punch. Despite this, the album is quite strong. FEELS LIKE RAIN is not the place to look for Guy the legendary blues guitarist, but, taken for what it is, it is extremely entertaining.
