Lizzie & the Rain Man

AMG Review of Lizzie & the Rain Man

Greg Adams
All Music Guide

Lizzie & the Rain Man is a eight-song budget collection (ten on compact disc), the title of which is taken from Tucker's 1975 number one hit. That song is here as well as the hits "San Antonio Stroll" and "Ridin' Rainbows." Other tracks include her cover of "Son of a Preacher Man" and (on CD only) a duet with Glen Campbell on "Dream Lover." Drawn from Tucker's late-'70s MCA recordings, Lizzie & the Rain Man is a good, if brief, collection in terms of overall quality and will please the thrifty as well as serious fans in search of a few '70s album tracks on CD.
