Liner Note
To look at Sue Raney, one wouldn't imagine that she has such a grown-up voice. At the time she recorded her first Capitol album, "When You Lover Has Gone," she was still in her teens. And even now those teen years are only a step behind her. But musically Sue Raney is well ahead of the average young vocalist. Her style is mature, and her rich natural voice has a quality that many singers spend half a lifetime to develop. Sue comes by her singing ability naturally, and this happy asset gives her songs an ease that adds wonderfully to their charm.
This particular collection is called "Songs For A Raney Day," and the opening thunderclap makes it seem for a moment that there's a stormy tune ahead. But the Raney voice soon gives assurance that even "the blues when it rains" can be warm, indoors-by-the-fire kind of blues — the reflective, quiet sort of feeling that most of us enjoy now and then.
Billy May's subdued orchestral blend of flutes and trombones with harp and rhythm provides a most sympathetic and delightfully deft accompaniment to Sue's pleasantly misty voice, as she sings such lightly swinging songs as Rain On The Roof, and September In The Rain, or dreamy, romantic ballads such as Impossible, and Blue Tears — a very beautiful song which she composed.
By the time Sue has finished her songs, it's clear to listeners that a second peal of thunder is merely to signal that she's succeeded in exchanging all the blues for sunshine with her velvety voice that move along smoothly as rain down a window pane.
