"DIDN'T IT RAIN" is Songs: Ohia's sixth full-length album, and it stands out for its unique recording process. The album was recorded live, without overdubs, in a South Philadelphia neighborhood, giving it a used, vintage feel. The band played together in one room, with the singers sharing microphones and singing live, creating a sound reminiscent of classic Muscle Shoals Sound recordings from the 70s. The album's title track was inspired by a Mahalia Jackson song and deals with the ups and downs of life. This album is more personal and healing than any of Songs: Ohia's previous works, and it showcases Jason Molina's skills as a songwriter and artist. The album takes listeners on a journey and offers a soulful and introspective song cycle, with Molina meditating on the meaning of feeling rooted again in Chicago. "DIDN'T IT RAIN" was released on March 5, 2002.
