COUNTRY GURU W.NELSON HAS MADE HIS BEST THING IN HIS LIFE-TWIN-WONDERS !AND THAT ALBUM IS LEGEND ,BUT CAN SAY THAT FOR THEIR FOLLOWING TITLES!!
By Justin Gaines (Northern Virginia)
I know it's easy to write off this band as a cheesy 90's relic or novelty act, but if you can look past the spandex outfits and all that hair, you would see that Nelson released some seriously catchy, high quality melodic rock. Nelson's powerful melodic sound was the logical follow up to the Journey/Foreigner/Loverboy arena rock sound of the 80's. People seem quick to trash that kind of music now, but all of those bands - Nelson included - sold tons of albums back in the day, and you know darn well that when you're caught singing along to the radio in your car, it's going to be one of those band's songs you're belting out!
Say what you will about their image, but the well-crafted, radio-friendly rock songs on Nelson's 1990 debut After the Rain are everything good pop/rock is supposed to be. There are tons of great vocal harmonies, guitar hooks for miles, and all of the energy of a musical scene that was at its highest peak. Sure the end was near, but you wouldn't know it listening to this album. The album's highlight is the title track (which is still one of my favorite songs), but there are plenty of great songs to choose from, including the single (Can't Live without Your) Love and Affection. Even the ballad Only Time Will Tell is a fantastic song.
My only complaint is that After the Rain still hasn't been reissued with digitally remastered sound. The 20th Century Masters: Best of Nelson disc featured higher quality versions of about half of the songs on After the Rain, but I'd love to hear the whole thing remastered.
Laugh if you must, but I am not the least bit ashamed to sing the praises of this album. After the Rain is a first rate melodic rock album, and is perhaps the best example of what the genre had to offer in the late 80's and early 90's.

I'm a recent fan and searched for several of their cds. I was thrilled to find this one and absolutely love it. I am extremely pleased with the service also. The cd arrived quickly and in perfect condition.

This was the only successful album by Nelson, a pair of brothers Matt and Gunner Nelson. Contains a number of hit singles including Love and Affection. To make a career in music, you need to be an 80s hair band or be forced to slumping sales and retirement. It's somewhere between hard rock and country. I like it.

Back in '90 when this album came out, I was a 12 year old fan who played my Nelson cassette until I wore it out. (Thankfully I had made extra copies..)I don't know how much I knew at 12 but I knew that I LOVED that tape, those guys, and the songs. After 10 years of waiting I finally got to see Nelson live in concert a few weeks ago (it was amazing!) and finally purchased After The Rain on CD. These songs are catchy, upbeat, and fun. They remind me of how simple yet fun it was to be 12 years old and the best part is they are ageless. I can still play it as loud as I did back then and it never dawns on me how old these songs are. My personal favorite track is "More Than Ever" because it never fails to make me smile or sing it at the top of my lungs. I was a fan at 12, I'm a fan at 22, and I will be a fan for as long as these guys make music because they are just awesome. If you don't already have it, GET THIS CD!! You won't regret it.
