Citizen Cope : The Rainwater LP
Rainwater Recordings
Citizen Cope has churned out several albums of laid-back pop grooves floating on an easy, beach-like vibe, with hints of reggae, jazz, soul and blues in the mix. This has led to Jack Johnson comparisons, which should fade—to some degree, anyway—with The Rainwater LP. Cool The fun elements remain among varied songs, which feature horns and samples in some unexpected places. “I Couldn’t Explain Way” has a ‘70s pop feel, while “Jericho” moves to a funky, electro-soul beat. “Keep Askin’” kicks the album off in a piano-driven bluesy direction, and the politically bent “The Newspaper” reads like a Southern organ-filled dirge. Of course, there is plenty of acoustic guitar throughout, keeping Cope’s sound buoyant among the occasional heaviness.
