Didn't It Rain (Hugh Laurie album)

studio album by Hugh Laurie

Didn't It Rain is the second studio album by English actor and musician Hugh Laurie.

Recorded in Ocean Way Studios in Los Angeles in January ,[5] the album contains several blues songs (like its predecessor, Let Them Talk). Unlike his previous album, however, Laurie also branches further into other Southern US and South American genres, including jazz, R&B, and tango.

Similarly to Let Them Talk, Laurie once again plays piano and guitar, and often provides vocals. Additionally, Laurie is joined by guest musicians Gaby Moreno, Jean McClain, and Taj Mahal, and is supported throughout by the Copper Bottom Band.[6]

Didn't It Rain was released in the UK on 6 May , with iTunes providing pre-order and digital releases,[7] and Amazon providing vinyl prints and a special book edition.[8][9] As a promotion for a Huffington Post interview[10] regarding Laurie's album and upcoming tour, the album had a hour free streaming period in several countries.[11] It was released in the United States on 6 August [12]

The miniature piano seen on the album artwork was given to Laurie on a episode of Friday Night with Jonathan Ross.[13]
