Howlin' Rain is the "side project" for Comets On Fire's main man Ethan Miller. Where Comets charge hard into the midnight hour, Howlin' Rain prefers a lazy afternoon to kick out the jams. Fans of the Allman Brothers, Grateful Dead, Black Crowes, and similar artists will fall in love with this album (their second), full of melodic hooks and sunny, soulful grooves.
