about

It Never Rains was written specifically for this CD (and bears a dedication to label director Jim Fox and Cold Blue Music). Its unusual instrumentation fits that of Bryar’s current touring ensemble, which features himself on double bass. Bryars writes, “The title has two allusions. The first was to the (pre-climate change) ‘It Never Rains in Southern California’ [a popular 1970s song]—which takes me back to when I visited La Jolla in the early 1970s, during which visit my former wife and I, along with Warren Burt, walked to the top of Mount Tecate. The second is the (more prosaic) English proverb ‘It never rains—but it pours.’”
