Released in 2001, If it Rains is a package of songs that are each well crafted gems, having both a strong sense of purpose and a haunting familiarity. The album, Melwood's third release, was co-produced with guitarist Ken Myhr and featuring background vocals by Rebecca Campbell and special guests Alannah Myles on Lay Down My Love, Jeff Barnes on violin, and Lewis Melville on pedal steel.
"emotional, image-laden ballads of love, regret, and two-lane highways. Songwriting is his calling card." - Brad Wheeler, Globe and Mail
"There are few that can pen a dozen great songs every time he/she decides to record another CD. Melwood Cutlery has done that.” - Steve Fruitman, CIUT
"One of Cutlery's most intimate sounding works" Lynn Saxberg - Ottawa Citizen
