Neal Francis - Can't Stop The Rain (Official Video)

[@siscoismyhomey]

Neal with Derek?? My god that's a great pairing. Never would have guessed they would link but I'm so glad they did!

[@actionsportster7686]

Didn't know that was Trucks playing, but the sound is unmistakable. Why didn't they use him in the video? Really only searched for the video to see the guitar riffs being played. Disappointing, but it makes sense that they wouldn't try to pretend that someone else can play like Derek. I've watched some of the live recordings of this song now and to me, this version is the best because of Derek's playing.

[@siscoismyhomey]

@@actionsportster7686 My thoughts are that with TTB's hectic touring schedule this summer and fall they just weren't able to get him in the video. He may well of done his guitar part from his home studio and sent it into them. It would have been great to have him in there, but that slide work does everything it needs to, it's always on point!

[@ronnorton8910]

Just heard this tune on NPRs World Cafe and thought that guitar is smokin and sounds like Derek. Looked it up after I heard the artist and song name and theres Cant Stop the Rain by Neal Francis featuring Derek Trucks. Nice! Derek is unbelievable. Gonna check out some more Neal now.

[@Evolutionanimal24]

Heard it and knew but never saw it lol. That's dope as fuck

[@ChuckWortman]

Yes! Absolutely fantastic! No wonder they were hiding the guitar player in the video!

[@thelegendinhisownmind7038]

He's headlining my hometown's annual music festival, this upcoming weekend. Looking forward to it.

Wir sind hier auf Teneriffa im Urlaub und sitzen ganz entspannt in einem Café. Plötzlich kommt seine Musik aus den Lautsprechern und wir sind seitdem verrückt danach! Bitte, bitte zeige den Europäern was gute Musik ist 🎸🎷🎹 🇩🇪

[@jrhokie]

However good you think his songs are, seeing him live is 10 times better. Saw him in a free Revivalists after party in DC and he bkew me away. Revivalists even did a walk on.

[@PlayinWithEverythin]

Thanks for letting DT lay down the guitar track - totally changes the tonality of the song for the better. I particularly like the smoothness of your vocals with the bite of the guitar - well done.

[@NealFrancis]

Cheers!

Awesome!! Shall spread the word. I dropped your name & song @ KBPI in Ft.Collins & KBCO in Boulder both broadcast the greater Denver area! Your song will be a chart topper.

Just heard Neal last night, opening for Les Claypool's Frog Brigade at the Masonic Temple in Detroit. Absolutely blew my mind, so much so I bought 2 of his 3 LPs at the merch booth. Got to meet him and chat with him for a few (he was standing at the merch booth after his set to meet/greet people who bought his stuff), really great guy. They KILL it live. Will be catching them again the next time they come through Detroit area.

Neal, great song and great band, however, I was a little bit disappointed to not see any film footage of Derek Trucks doing the slide guitar work. I'm assuming it was him. And if so, I'm guessing there was no film footage of him because he laid down the track after you guys did the song. Correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks in advance!😊

Neal your music just keeps getting better and better. Amazing amazing amazing! I have been waiting to hear the song for over a week because I could see it in my Spotify but I was at a cabin with no data or internet access. Was worth the wait. I’ll admit I had been thinking the whole time that the song was a cover of I can’t Stand the Rain. I think your song is even better, although Lowell George’s version of Can’t stand the rain is also great. Appreciate it being shot on 16mm but tripods existed in the 70s. hahaha I’m gonna get motion sick watching your video but I respect the teams creative work putting this great video together.
