It's been a long while since Erica Wheeler's last studio release and well worth the wait. Good Summer Rain is by far her greatest musical achievement. It's a gorgeous, cohesive, collection of songs about love, loss, and the land. Produced and recorded by Crit Harmon (Martin Sexton, Mary Gauthier, Lori McKenna), Good Summer Rain draws on some of the Northeast's finest session musicians. Erica Wheeler is best known for "cinematographic," imaginative, unforgettable songs about the American landscape and lives lived there. Good Summer Rain creates a travelogue, often feeling as expansive as the land itself. Its 11 songs span from the intimate streets of Greenwich Village to the sweeping vistas of Jackson Hole, reaching out to where farmland gives way to sprawl; where wilderness meets industrial growth, and back again. Good Summer Rain was sponsored in part by The Trust for Public Land, a national organization which works to preserve land for people.
