Because of
Rain was recorded in the same session with “Too Young” (US #1) and “Early
American”. Song of Delilah was recorded in
a 5-hour session with “Make Believe Land”, “Get To Gettin’”, “Frosty the
Snowman” (US #9) and “Little Christmas Tree”. These guys really meant business
when they were in a studio session!
This is another record with peaceful & moody tracks, but Nat had plenty of style and talent – no doubt about it.
