Outstanding Album.......2007-04-06

Best of everything....Percy's great voice along with splendid instrumentals, especially the great licks by the solo guitarist. The organ and the sweet sound of the violin on track 6 "A Lonely Violin"!

This a must for serious music lovers!!!!!!!!

He is back with a vengence!.......2004-12-25

I read a review of this album in No Depression magazine and decided to give it a chance. To my ears it is one of the great CD'S of 2004 and I have passed the word on to several friends.Mr. Sledge is a true treasure and his interpretations of the songs on Shining Through the Rain are masterful and his backing band deserves a pat on the back too.

SHINING THROUGH THE RAIN REALLY SHINES.......2004-09-06

LOVED PERCY SLEDGE'S NEW ALBUM - SHOULD BE A WINNER

Well Worth The Wait.......2004-09-03

While I have enjoyed Percy Slege's music in the past, I bought this cd because of one track, "Lonely Violin" written by the Brothers Gibb in the early 70's. This song was never released by the Bee Gees, but I have heard their version. For my money music from the Bee Gees cannot be beat, however, I really think Percy did a great job with this song. And after listening to all the tracks on the cd, I think this is going to be one that goes in my cd player over and over.

Well worth the wait.......2004-09-01

It has been a long time since the music world has heard from Sledge, and it was worth the wait! The soulful voice of Sledge gives meaning to lyrics and recreates this genre for a whole new generation of music lovers-

A beautiful collection.......2000-12-13

Eileen Farrell was unfamiliar to me before I bought this recording, but since then I have become a dedicated fan. That an opera singer should be able to perform popular songs so convincingly is a wonder in itself, but Miss Farrell's very special style deserves more praise than that. She brings out the inherent mood of each song without a trace of artifice, exploring the emotions in the lyric to the full. Songs like "Where Do You Start", "Gone With The Wind" and "The Shining Sea" have never sounded so sincere and heartbreaking. Robert Farnon's warm strings are a superb foil for Miss Farrell's interpretations. This album may be difficult to obtain, but make the effort if you relish fine songs sung by a master interpreter.
