It’s April, so it’s inevitable that we’ll have a few showers before spring’s flowers can emerge. When you’re stuck inside during a downpour, listen to this playlist we made just for a rainy day, and enjoy it while the rain taps at your window. Just print this list so you’ll have the titles handy the next time you’re shopping for music at iTunes or your favorite online music store. Enjoy!
