  Themes From A Rainy Decade is the first solo album released by Richard Bennett after decades of work as a studio musician and producer, contributing to thousands of recordings for other artists.
  
  In the liner notes to the CD, Mark Knopfler writes: "For almost ten years now I've felt very lucky having Richard Bennett as a pal and as a member of the band. His quiet, self-effacing manner hides an encyclopaedic knowledge of all kinds of roots and rock music, from Hillbilly to Hawaiian, played effortlessly on a variety of instruments which appear out of a flight case as big as an Airstream trailer...... May his cracking guitar playing find a place in your life as it has in mine."
