John Hiatt – Feels Like Rain, by Ron Swanson

I’m up too early on what would have been my Dad’s 81st birthday listening to various versions of John Hiatt’s “Feels Like Rain”.

When you write a song that gets covered by Buddy Guy (surprisingly sweet vocal), Bonnie Raitt, and Aaron Neville, I guess you got something right.

To this day, one of the best live vocal performances I have ever been lucky enough to witness (at Summer Fest, roughly 30 years ago, with Sager) was the Mellow Fellows (of Big Twist & fame) and a singer I want to remember as Marvin Albrittan.
