It’s a rare day these days in California–rain is coming as we write.\u00a0 Good news, even we would say.\u00a0 But all we can think about this morn is Sam Baker’s<\/strong><\/a> song The Tattooed Woman<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0 Baker<\/strong> is one of our best lyricists, his songs telling keenly observed and eloquently articulated character studies that sail or rend your heart and mind.\u00a0 The Tattooed Woman<\/strong><\/em> is no exception.\u00a0 Taken from his superb album Say Grace<\/strong> (one of our Top 15 Albums of 2013<\/strong><\/a>), Baker<\/strong> sings in the song of a disconsolate woman and her uneasy lover and his foreboding forecast (of rain, trouble, something terribly tenebrous).\u00a0 It gets under your skin…like a tattoo.\u00a0 Watch below as Baker, Carrie Elkin<\/strong> and Chip Dolan<\/strong> performed the song last September at In The Woods<\/strong> in the Netherlands.<\/p>\n

Rain is coming, that’s how it feels.<\/p>\n
