Watching for Rain

Watching for Rain is Anne Trenning's third CD, released just last month. She is a pianist, and her music is just that, music. Although there are other instruments involved, mostly strings, there are no voices to interrupt.

The CD contains ten original compositions plus a folk melody, a traditional spiritual, a modern gospel and a country classic. My favorite song is track three, "Eden Hall." This track is actually a new arrangement of her own song that originally appeared on her first recording, Suite Tea, back in 1997.

There's no doubt that Ms. Trenning knows her way around a piano, and the instruments that back her do an excellent job of enhancing her sound without overpowering it. If a mix of soothing and uplifting music is your thing, definitely check this record out.
