I Want To Be (The Rainmaker)

[seliguy555]

Sounds like a follow-up to King Harvest:

"Hey, rainmaker can you hear my call? Please let these crops grow tall." (from King Harvest)

I love Rick Danko! Although I do feel like he thrives when he's singing songs where you can hear the deep passion in his voice (i.e. It Makes No Difference, Thinkin' Out Loud, etc.). I think this is more of just a fun little tune

[jglustig]

who's singing?

[rad311]

@jglustig It's Danko. listen closely and you'll hear it :)

@rad311 i thought it was robbie

[rad311]

@donuntboy25 no its definitely Danko, he's just singing higher than usual. Just listen closely, especially around :38-50

This was probably early on in their career so he hadn't yet cultivated his voice to its fully potential yet. Or perhaps they were just messing around so he didn't go for the whole gut-wrenching-full-forced-proj­ection that he was fully capable of :)

Thanks for uploading this. There's something vaguely creepy about this tune. I find it almost sinister.
