REVIEWS

The Telegraph
Hugh Laurie interview for Didn’t It RainFor the new album he gave himself a fresh mission statement: ‘I have resolved to forge on, deeper into the forest of American music that has enchanted me since I was a small boy.’ But he insists that he is as surprised as anyone that he is being allowed to do this again.

Daily Express
There’s nothing revelatory or ambitious and it would’ve barely got off the ground without the name of the highest paid actor on US television attached.

Digital Journal
Review: Hugh Laurie proves his musical worth (again) on ‘Didn’t It Rain’Laurie’s piano playing is rollicking and masterful throughout and is a definite high point of Didn’t It Rain. He has always been a masterful musician, a better piano player than singer, but on this record he is beginning to show more confidence in his vocal abilities.
