We're celebrating Eli Young Band's Greatest Hits album, which is available now.
They've compiled some of the fan favorites, some of their biggest hits, and some of the
songs that had a huge impact on their career.
And this next song, When It Rains, was off of Eli Young Band's Jet Black & Jealous album.
It was the first song they released off that album.
And this is one of their early, early songs from their career, but John explains why it
was such a pivotal song and why it deserved to be on their Greatest Hits album.
When It Rains was a song that helped us transition from being this little band in Texas to getting
on the radar of some of the major labels.
It felt like an epic road trip.
Yeah.
When we got there, they were like, it took you how long to get here?
Yeah, we were late.
Yeah.
Let me tell you something about getting back.
It's almost like a once-in-a-lifetime song.
It's one of those things that if you never write another song ever, you wrote something
incredible.
Thank you, Mike.
That was actually James Young who was thanking Mike Eli because James wrote this song entirely
by himself.
And if you're a later fan of Eli Young Band, maybe you haven't really discovered this song
yet, but it was off their Jet Black & Jealous album, and now it's available on This Is Eli
Young Band, their Greatest Hits album.
It's When It Rains on Big Machine Radio.
