About The Record:

After the Rain, by Kevin Roth, is a 1987 children’s album featuring his signature mountain dulcimer and soothing vocals aimed at young listeners. The album reflects Roth’s shift in the early 1980s toward creating music for children, a period when his career gained prominence through award-winning albums and television appearances, including singing the theme for the PBS/FOX show Shining Time Station. It includes gentle, folk-inspired tracks that align with Roth’s spiritual and reflective musical style, though specific song titles from the album are not widely documented in available sources. No hit singles from After the Rain charted on major music charts like the Billboard Hot 100, as Roth’s work primarily resonated within niche folk and children’s music audiences. The album holds historical significance as part of Roth’s extensive discography, which spans over 60 albums, cementing his legacy as a leading innovator of the mountain dulcimer.
