No Rain, No Rose is the fifth studio album by folk singer-songwriter John Craigie.

[1][2] It was released on January 27, 2017, and recorded in his living room in Portland, Oregon, with the help of other well-known musicians around Portland such as the Shook Twins and Gregory Alan Isakov.

[3][4] This album describes John Craigie's life as a traveling musician and explores the sense of home that he found in Portland after moving from Los Angeles.

[6] Other influences include The Rolling Stones[7] with the album's folksy cover of "Tumbling Dice".

[8] John Craigie captures this sentiment throughout the album, and since Portland is the "City of Roses", he symbolizes his hometown as the lotus from the saying, or in other words, one of the 'good things' that has come from hard times.
