Pat LaMountain - Summer Rain

Visit Pat & Tex LaMountain at: http://www.patandtex.com/

The incredible talent of Pat LaMountain (and her husband Tex - more on him later) singing "Summer Rain" from her "A Few Miles Later" CD.

The first time I heard "Summer Rain" all I could say was "Wow! where have I been and why haven't I heard this before?". Reminiscent of The Byrds, this arrangement had me at the get-go. The whole CD is a delight and encompasses many different styles showing quite a diverse musical background. Pat & Tex may have flown under the radar a bit but it isn't because they aren't talented. They have been a force in the local music scene for a long time and over the years have become very accomplished in every aspect of the music business.

I am only recently getting to know more about the LaMountains and their music and I can see they leave a rich legacy of original music in their wake. I first heard about the LaMountains when tracking down Kenje Ogata's rendition of "Eagles" which was written by Tex. The more I found out about them, the more I wanted to know. They are still playing and I am looking forward to seeing them perform. You can find their schedule on their site.

Enjoy!

Lyrics: SUMMER RAIN
Words and music by Pat LaMountain © 1986

I want to go to the country, sleep at an inn Ive never seen before
Soak my dreams in a clawfoot tub, and lock the door
Sunset on an August eve, after a walk in the rain
At the end of a hot summer day

Summer rain, come wash these blues away
Summer rain, come wash these blues away

This year I said I would get away
Live out the scenes in my dreams
Now here I am in the city heat
And Im gonna have to stay it seems

Summer rain, come wash these blues away
Summer rain...
Summer rain, come wash these blues away

Sunset on an August eve, after a walk in the rain
At the end of a hot summer day

Summer rain, come wash these blues away
Summer rain...
Summer rain, come wash these blues away

Summer rain, come wash these blues away
Summer rain...
Summer rain, come wash these blues away
