Revisiting Rainy Day: Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs get Under the Covers
Steven R Rosen, LA CityBeat, 20 April 2006
THERE ARE THOSE who say, with good reason, that 1984's Rainy Day is one of the great L.A. pop albums. And while not a sequel, Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs' new Under the Covers Vol. 1 was inspired by it. It's a collection of 15 1960s-era songs that will be released by Shout! Factory on April 18.
