Two years ago, the self-taught Englishman showcased his command of American music on Let Them Talk, a solid selection of New Orleans standards. His latest effort, Didn’t It Rain, features blues standards like W.C. Handy’s St. Louis Blues and Jelly Roll Morton’s I Hate a Man Like You, along with more recent works such as Dr. John’s Wild Honey. “I have resolved to forge on, deeper into the forest of American music that has enchanted me since I was a small boy,” explains Laurie.
