Mighty Rain is a studio album by Irish folk singer, Susan McKeown and American jazz double-bassist, Lindsey Horner. The album was released through Depth of Field on October 20, 1998. Produced by Bobby Previte, McKeown and Horner, Mighty Rain features a mixture of original compositions, covers, and traditional folk songs.[2]
Retroactively deemed an "overlooked gem in the output of these two genre-spanning artists."[3]Mighty Rain marks the second full-length collaboration between McKeown and Horner, following the critically acclaimed Through the Bitter Frost and Snow. On this album, every sound heard is played by either McKeown or Horner, spanning acoustic bass, bass guitar, whistles and bass clarinet, bodhrán and shakers. The album features covers of two Bob Dylan songs, "If Not for You" and "Dark Eyes," as well as a musical adaptation of the Lucille Clifton poem "Let there be new flowering."[4]
