From the forthcoming Habakkuk Music CD Release (due July 3, 2012)
“Send Your Rain” is an unhurried praise and worship call for the restorative and healing properties of rain, duly gospelized by the raw, throaty vocals of Clint Brown and Marvin L. Winans. A release of tension created by the tonic chords of the chorus and the thunderous response of the choir give this track its dramatic distinctiveness.
The Brown-Winans duet feels like a trading of leads between pastors with the choir as congregation and, well, that’s basically what’s happening.
