5.0 out of 5 stars One of the 10 best CD's from the 80's decade, October 20, 2003

Buy this CD, read the lyric sheet and listen to it without interruptions. It will blow you away. Every song is powerful, cathcy, poetic. This band should have sold millions. They would have been a perfect touring counterpart to bands like R.E.M., U2, the Jayhawks. My all-time favorite record. I've probably heard it 100 times. Intelligent, electric, explosive, and humorous - simultaneously. It's the reason why my username is "Downstream", which is the title of the second track on the disc. The Rainmakers literally changed my life when I was 16 years old and altered my outlook towards music. It made me realize how good music can be and still not get radio play. Discover the magic.

This is The Rainmakers debut album which spawned 2 minor hits "Downstream" and "Let My People Go-Go". They should really re-release this classic album. This band was way ahead of it's time. Check out www.rainmakers.com for more info on this great band.

This review is from: The Rainmakers (Audio CD)

This song is a story of a night a small town farm boy got out of High School and moved on to College or jobs or what ever. I to lived that night laying on the ground looking at the stars, drinking a few beers by the campfire with my friends, pondering what was going to happen with our lives. This song brings that night back like I was living it today.

Great CD by an EVEN BETTER band, much like RUSH, these guys are Poets of society, and our interactions with one another.

My Favorite CD of ALL TIME....
