There is no lack of sad female singer/songwriters in this world, and after about half a decade and a handful of solo albums, Orenda Fink and Maria Taylor (when joining forces, the mopey melody-makers Azure Ray) respectively learned their lesson. This summer, we reported on the reunion of the duo for a fourth album, Drawing Down the Moon, released in September on Saddle Creek. Well, big surprise — Azure Ray are shining their light across the States this month as they embark on their first tour together in seven years. Purple rain to follow.
