Come Rain or Shine: The Harold Arlen Songbook is a 1996 album by André Previn and Sylvia McNair of songs by the composer Harold Arlen.[2]
The initial Billboard magazine review from June 8, 1996, commented that "McNair is best in cozy renditions of Arlen ballads, giving away a tad too-much of her concert hall skills on the rhythm numbers...the album has that wonderful, intimate air of a singer and musician who got together for what turned out to be a charming gathering 'round the keyboard".[3]
Come Rain or Come Shine was also reviewed in BBC Music Magazine, San Diego Magazine and Gramophone.[4][5][6]
