This is the first single by Vinegar Johnson. It was written in the aftermath of the January 6th insurrection. It was also informed by the book "See No Stranger" by Valarie Kaur, and her enjoiner to "see no stranger" but rather look at others and think "you are a part of me I do not yet know"....

A returning veteran disappears into a Midwest landscape of night trains, truck stops, and prairie fires. A former baseball star fades into the tattered memories of his dreams. These are the folks who inhabit the songs of Kurt Winikka. "Says the Rain" is Winikka's second CD, co-produced with Grammy...

Kurt's first album was self-produced and can best be described as a learning experience. There were a couple standout songs on the album. Big Blue River has been re-arranged and recorded for Vinegar Johnson's first full length album.
