Single Release Date: September 2021

Americana artist David Starr closes in on his year-long Touchstones project with the 11th release, a cover of John Hiatt's "Feels Like Rain." The romantic laid-back tune takes on a different tone as its backdrop, the city of New Orleans, continues to deal with the effects of Hurricane Ida and the present Tropical Storm Nicholas. Inspiring songwriters for hundreds of years, rain has enamored many and served as an idyllic picture, including Hiatt. A love song at its core, Starr’s soulful vocals come to life on "Feels Like Rain" emoting the passion and rawness of the lyric. Premiering on The Sound Cafe the video is directed by Jason Lee Denton and the single is available on all streaming platforms now.

"Although this release was scheduled before anyone knew of the oncoming storm it would be remiss not to bring some sensitivity to the folks going through the effects of these natural disasters. Rain is an element that mystifies and entrances many of us with its power and also its beauty. I have always heard this song and thought of New Orleans and hope that others hear it and remember this great city we all love. The thing about rain is that it always clears, so here’s to some sunshine up ahead." David Starr
