After the Rain is another phenomenal musical collection by one of today's most powerfully emotional and talented composers and pianists, Jeanne Cotter. Jeanne has the gift of taking a simple, familiar melody and endowing it with a unique style that is nothing short of magical. She breaks free from methodical musical theory and has created a style that breaks the mold.

Each song has a story and a potent message. Jeanne is uniquely talented in her ability to tell her stories, a family heritage she proudly carries on in her music. In expressing her most intimate emotions, she touches us in a very personal and profound way through her music.

Purchase this album and experience the refreshing, cool breeze of Jeanne's music blowing through your soul.

The mixture of contemporary and traditional music contained in this cd is inspiring to anyone who enjoys spending some time with one who shares herself from the depths of her talents and her heart. The Hymn to Joy is especially moving the first time you listen to the cd, but the true "Joy" comes when one can anticipate this powerful piece in subsequent playings. From the first song to the last the listener will be compelled to enter into the spirit, love and power with which Jeanne plays. A force sweeps the listener along and demands a response. That response probably will be "Thank God for Jeanne Cotter."

This CD brings such joyful emotions, memories of songs sung in church and can be a spiritual journey. Jeanne Cotter is a talented musician who's love of the Lord can be felt by just listening to her play.

I am a coordinator of youth and young adult ministry and I play this cd all of the time for the teens at my parish in prayer services, or when the just need time to chill out and relax. THEY LOVE IT!
I have 2 copies. One for at work and one for home/car. Although the piano is light and very fluent, it catches your ear when an old liturgy favorite is played.

The only thing better than this CD is hearing her live, but this cd comes very close.

I've had this disc forever - it became damaged after many years of play and transport to and from work - I was extremely happy to get another copy! It is a wonderful, peaceful collection of solo piano, guaranteed to soothe, even after the most stressful day... I often play it while I'm falling asleep. It's also good for studying, reading, doing the crossword, a dinner party... Not intrusive at all. Highly recommended.

Cotter's piano interpretation of some old Christian favorites is wonderful. This is a great CD for relaxation.
