WHEN THE RAIN COMES DOWN (by Andy Taylor: single)

SUMMARY:                                   RUNNING TIME: 3:53 Min.

Initially released in 1986 for the Miami Vice II soundtrack album, Andy Taylor’s up-tempo, hard rock tune would resurface on the Miami Vice: The Ultimate Collection CD in 2004.  “When the Rain Comes Down” is also now available as a single.

Note:  Another option is Taylor’s extended-format version (running time: 4:55 min.) from his 1987 Thunder solo album.  This song’s hard-charging instrumentals get even more emphasis. 

REVIEW:

With Duran Duran’s Taylor in top form, it’s hard not to visualize a flashy Miami Vice speedboat chase hearing this mid-80s hard rock tune.  Aging surprisingly well, it makes a great download option for ‘80s dance-rock playlists and most certainly for workouts.  This Andy Taylor gem is well worth re-discovery.
