Welcome!!
We welcome you to the internet home of one of the world's finest singers,
Rainey!
"...A singer’s singer... an unforgettable musical experience..." – Phillip Anderson, L.A. Weekly
 
"...As a reference point, Rainey’s world-class voice has the grit of Melissa Etheridge, the soul of Tina Turner and the sweet purity of Annie Lennox. Philosophically speaking, if a tree fell in the forest with no one there to hear it, it was probably because her powerhouse pipes knocked the son-of-a-bitch down..." – Phillip Hardy, SoundtheSiren.com
 
"...Kinda like watching Ella Fitzgerald channel Janis Joplin... or maybe it’s the other way around. But mostly when I listen to her sing, I am reminded of a 747 taking off from a runway-- all power and thunder and then-- you're up in the sky somewhere...” – Sam T. Houston, San Antonio Express-News

We, at RaineyOnline.com, very much enjoy sending out Raineymusic and Raineyinformation to her many fans all around the world.
We welcome beautiful Winter in all Her lustrous glory!!
Winter has wrapped Her chilly, lovely, arms around us here at the old And Holly Farm!
From our office here in the big white barn on Rainey's farm in the Pacific Northwest, we can look out the windows and see the woods, fields and gardens of Frog Hill recumbent beneath the dusting of early winter frost. It's so beautiful throughout all the seasons, but dang! Winter is fantastic!

Welcome to Wonderful Winter at the And Holly Farm on Frog Hill!

Come on out into the beautiful (if chilly!) Winter day! We'll walk in the cold, crisp, winter's morning with our steaming coffee in hand! Lovely!

Rainey's written a poem extolling the delight of Winter. It's called "Frost Garden", and we present it here for your enjoyment!

Frost Garden

And one from Germany, to "The Queen of Voices"-

"Hey Rainey!
What a great morning!
I ordered 2 Singles yesterday, because I have a good friend
and he's seeking this Song "Old Enough to Rock and Roll" for 20 years or so....
He would fall out of the clouds, when he gets it! :-)
How long does that take, till they are here...
And yesterday (just before sleeping) I thought.....
Well.... Can't we give that single to a radio or so?
I really think that this song will break in and rock the charts!
There's so much trash in our charts and your voice and this song could make it!...... again.
You know, I make differences between all those people making music.
There are loads of entertainers...
But nowadays there are only a few artists.
And you are an artist, you have spirit in your music, you are Queen of Voices!
There are so many people in Germany and all over the world (I read through loads of bulletin boards....)
They would go crazy to hear you on Radio...

Loads of love,
Claudia K.- Blomberg, Germany"

And just in from Japan:

"Hi, Rainey. I've just received the CD for Old Enough to Rock and Roll.
You rock!!! This is the coolest rock'in song I've ever heard and you're
the greatest and most powerful rock singer in U.S!!!
I hope you visit Japan and have a live concert.
One of my dreams has come true today! I'll cherish this as my life time
treasure.
Thank you so very much, Rainey and all the staff! I wish your happiness
and that you will be in activity as full as ever.
-KEN O. from Osaka, JAPAN"

We regret that we have had to disable our guestbook for a while, while we determine how to best combat the deluge of spambot attacks we have suffered. We hope to find a solution soon, because Rainey loves to hear about how you're doing. Why not just send her an email? Then we can put it in the mailbag section, which the spider-spambots can't find!  So HAH! 

And we are happy to announce that Rainey has completed a big book of beautiful poetry/incredible photographs of her spectacular garden and farm called "The Splendor of the Given".

Rainey left Los Angeles in 1992 to live on an island in the Northwest. She has a recording studio on her farm where she lives with her husband Rob, and her son Jack. Her older son Robin still lives in Los Angeles where he makes music as a recording engineer and disk jockey.

Besides writing and recording songs in her island studio, Rainey paints and sculpts in her workspace in the big white barn on the property. We have added pictures of the farm (you can find them at the link below), and we'll soon be adding pictures of Rainey's ongoing body of work. But for now, click on the links to the side of the page and below to hear the music of this wonderful performer.

You can find pictures of Rainey's farm HERE.
