Rain is the the 3rd CD from Lew Jetton & 61 South. Both previous previous CDs were "Picks to Click" on XM/Sirius Satellite Radio's Bluesville Channel. While there is some outstanding guitar, piano and harmonica work on the CD, Jetton's forte has always been focusing on writing good, memorable songs, which strike home and in the heart, and he delivers them with a voice which clearly carries the marks of years of emotion and pain. If the early reviews are any indication, Rain will be burning up the airwaves, too!
Here's what they're saying:
Listening to Lew Jetton sing is like having that conversation with a trusted friend you’ve needed for a long time. There’s no excess baggage, no TV idle jive; just the guts of truth voiced in ageless warmth and emotional experience. Lew gets to the point; the stories tell themselves. Blues, Gulf Coast R&B, gospel and southern rock are referenced in the arrangements that frame them.
A slew of expert operators of American traditional tools make damn sure you were listening. Besides 61 South, notable guests lend picking, preaching and singing to Rain’s ensemble strength. But it’s Lew Jetton’s bona fide vocals that build you a home in these very direct lyrics. Tired of guessin’? Here’s your lesson.

Its a keeper! An A+. If you could taste this album, it would be the best gumbo you ever ate.
Will Stephens, Host of "The Electric Blues Hours" 91.1 FM WDBX
Lew Jetton & 61 South are a force of nature on their new blues album “Rain!” Heart felt lyrics and stinging blues guitar licks make you feel like you’re at one of Lew’s live shows. Like a cool Kentucky rain Lew and the band keep sounding better with every song.
