DATE: April 2019 LOCATION: Chalet Studios Claremont ON MUSICIANS: Drums … Al Cross Bass … Dennis Pendrith Keyboards … David Chester Guitar … Graham Young Piano … Bob Burrows Vocals … Bob Burrows SONGWRITER: Bob Burrows RECORDING PERSONNEL: Recording Engineer: Justin Meli Mixing Engineer: Josh Bowman Producer: Bob Burrows GRAPHIC ARTIST: Mike Raines NOTES: Raining Fire was written in 1985 to address the issue of acid rain. The song was then submitted to The Acid Rain Coalition … who didn’t even have the decency to acknowledge they had received it! … let alone use it in any way. Since then, when it comes to the environment things have only gotten much worse. And the song can and does address the catastrophe we are now facing as a whole. We have recorded the song several times over the years and made a video of it too. You could drive a truck along the groove the band lays down here, solid as a rock. And Graham Young’s guitar solo is just wonderful … as always … liquid fire.

As we worked on the song the idea of supporting the homeless evolved … mostly because of the connection to the Salvation Army which is often associated with that issue. So we also made a video to accompany the song … after wandering the streets of downtown Toronto for several nights. Our intention was to present the video and the recording to Fred Victor Mission to support their comprehensive work in that area and to raise funds for them and The River St. Café (soup kitchen for the homeless) run by The Sally Anne. While we did get the mechanical rights to record the song we could not obtain the synchronization rights for the video from the lawyers of the songwriters for love nor money … they wouldn’t even talk to us! … so we were unable to complete the project as we had hoped. However, the musical adventure and the experience we went through were well worth the time and effort.  |
