Irma Thomas "After the rain"


Melancholic - not surprisingly,considering the time of its recording - and reflective r&b album by New Orleans music legend who sounds warm and comforting as usual.

The most interesting thing about Thomas is that she never over-sings - her singing is deeply felt,soulful and simple,completely lacking ornamentation young singers use today. This makes her old-fashioned and original at the same time.
