Some songs just sound better with a backdrop of storm clouds and the steady drip of water against your window.
When last week’s rainstorm rolled into Boyle Heights, we asked our Instagram followers to share their perfect rainy-day soundtracks. And they delivered.
We compiled an eclectic mix of jazz, Mexican ballads, folk and ’90s alt-rock for easy listening on the days when jackets and umbrellas are a must.
