Rainy Day: Rainy Day 1984 (Susannah Hoffs et al) | URBANASPIRINES
Rainy Day: Rainy Day 1984

Rainy Day was an all-star Paisley Underground band composed of members from other Paisley Underground bands, including Dream Syndicate, The Three O'Clock, Rain Parade and The Bangles. They began collaborating after meeting at a barbecue hosted by members of Green on Red. Rainy Day recorded and released their eponymous compilation album in 1984. It pays tribute to the various psychedelic and folk rock acts, and included covers of songs by Bob Dylan, The Beach Boys, Buffalo Springfield, Big Star, The Velvet Underground, The Who and Jimi Hendrix. Rainy Day was an album released in 1984 on the now-defunct indie label Enigma so, this album is very difficult to find. It consisted of cover songs performed by various musicians from California's so-called "Paisley Underground" scene. This loose collective was assembled by David Roback, who was then a member of Rain Parade and later of Opal and Mazzy Star.

Algorithms gone Americana!
It occurred to me I seem to have stopped playing my collection of Dwight Yoakam and once had a cardboard cutout of him (half life sized!) behind the TV (given to me by my ole pal John Northcote when Guitars, Cadillacs came out . . . . . .
