It could save your life. 'Mission in the Rain' I have always loved, because as life teaches us "no matter comes down (what happens) our mission always looks the same". This is a great album, but two songs in particular deserve special mention. This is an introspective album, with lyricist Hunter conteplating fame and fortune and realizing his "cup is empty; only love can fill. " True words for any one on a journey. In fact that song, 'Comes a Time" has kept me going when all seemed lost. The album works for anyone. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh......... I'm happy to see it's getting the recognition it deserves. I don't know if this could be called Jerry's best work, but hands down, it is my absolute favorite of his solo efforts. one of my most prized posessions with jerry's death it is so ironic that this, his best solo albumm is entitled //////reflections. it has always been my favorite solo album. . . . and i do. . . . everytime i hear this album. Excellent Jerry CD g. This is my favorite Jerry solo album! All the songs have a nice flow and more of a jam-style than the heavy production as in some of the other CDs (e. , Cats). Jerry gets a great sound from his guitar on "Catfish John"--it sounds like a steel drum. And I love the final lead of "I'll Take a Melody. " You also get some Dead staples: "They Love Each Other", "It Must Have Been the Roses", & "Comes a Time". Not surprising considering the entire band played on many of the songs.
