The Rainy Season (1993)

Details Lead Performance: Marc Cohn; Genre: Rock

On his suitably titled second album, The Rainy Season, Marc Cohn works himself up to an intensely earnest frame of mind and can't seem to find his joy button. Despite varied textures in the arrangements, his husky but limited baritone grinds everything into a brooding sameness. This is the album to put on when you really want to savor a lousy day. C+
