"She's My Kind of Rain" is a song written by Tommy Lee James and Robin Lerner, and recorded by American country music artist Tim McGraw. It was released in January 2003 as the third single from his album Tim McGraw and the Dancehall Doctors. It peaked at number 2 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, and at number 27 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart.
"She's My Kind of Rain" is a ballad in which the narrator describes his wife in an abstract fashion.
The song earned a Broadcast Music Incorporated award for reaching Number One on the former Radio & Records country singles charts.[1] It also received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Country Vocal Performance-Male at the 46th Grammy Awards.[2]
The music video was directed by Tim's usual director of choice: Sherman Halsey. McGraw's wife, Faith Hill is featured at the end of the video, as are their three daughters, Gracie, Maggie and Audrey. It was filmed in London, England, and shows Tim walking with a cloak on, and him performing the song in a royal dining room of a restaurant. It premiered on CMT on November 22, 2002, two months before its official release as a single; the music video version is 4:33, complete with a full ending. However, this version is unavailable on any of McGraw's greatest hits compilations.
"She's My Kind of Rain" re-entered the charts as an official single at number 47 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks for the chart week of January 25, 2003. The song reached a peak of number 2 on the Billboard country singles charts in May 2003, behind Darryl Worley's "Have You Forgotten?".
