This groovy and atmospheric Americana-album is also the solo-debut of Amy Helm, daughter of “The Band”-leader Levon Helm.

"I'm just trying to tell some stories as honestly as I can,“
Amy Helm says of “Didn't It Rain”, her first solo album. However, Amy is already known as a singer, songwriter and live performer, first as a member of the celebrated alt-country collective Ollabelle and subsequently for her extensive work with her father, musical icon Levon Helm, who passed away in 2012.

Blessed with a commanding, deeply expressive voice and an uncanny songwriting skill that instinctively draws upon a deep well of American musical traditions, Amy Helm delivers a timelessly powerful statement with Didn‘t It Rain. The spellbinding dozen-song set is rooted in first-person experience, exploring universal themes of life, love and loss on such musically and emotionally resonant originals as the smoldering soul ballad „Rescue Me,“ the hushed, lilting „Deep Water,“ the meditative „Roll Away“ and the stark, haunting „Wild Girl.“ Complementing Helm‘s originals are her personalized takes on the Sam Cooke classic „Good News“ and the traditional title track, which she delivers with the heartfelt gospel urgency that‘s always been an element of her vocal persona.
