"Buckets of Rain" is a song by Bob Dylan, recorded on September 19, 1974 in New York City and released in 1975 on Dylan's critically acclaimed album "Blood On The Tracks". Dylan's recording has him playing in a Dropped D tuning.

I decided to set my arrangement in an Open D tuning so that the guitar could pick up sympathetic tones. I was looking for a bigger sound. The motto of playing the minimum to get the maximum is an important element to my guitar playing. Plus by using an alternating bass technique the Open D tuning fills the air with a strong rhythm against a catchy melody.
