Review: Eli Young Band, “When it Rains”
December 8, 2007
This is smart, in a nineties grunge kind of way. It has a melancholy undercurrent that pulsates throughout
the track. There’s almost a Rubber Soul quality to the melody, and the vocal goes for authenticity rather than perfection. It’s not often I go right to iTunes to buy a single after the first listen, but this one’s in my personal collection already. I’m really digging it.

Hey Kevin,
Did you know that this is from their record “Level” that they released in 2005? I just saw that they re-mixed it so perhaps that’s why it’s getting a push now. It’s a very good song.
WOW!! I really love that song. I’ve never herad of this group/band. Is the rest of their stuff this good? Suggestions on a good CD to pick up of theirs?
hey, if you like this song, i reccomend going to get the whole cd…best song “thats the way”…cd is incredible…they’re all hits
Kevin: Good thing you’re in no rush to get to iTunes to find this. It ain’t there.
P.S. This song’s been out for *ages* now and it’s just now in the Top 40. Talk about longevity.
