Silver Rain is Marcus Miller's sixth CD takes
its name from the Langston Hughes poem, "In
Time of Silver Rain." This outstanding
CD deserves more than a mere listen, as sexy
background mood music or mellow music it’s
just dynamite. I very much enjoyed listening
to it (over and over and over).
Ciao’
for now, peace.
