Recorded in 1971, "Rainman" was co-produced by Cuby 'n' the Blizzards drummer Dick Beekman and Nuyens. All tracks co-written by Nuyens and Q65 drummer Jay Baar (there's one cover), far from the Q65-styled R'n'B or psychedelia.
Musically material such as the title track, 'Don't' and '' the collection leans towards laidback singer/songwriter faire; albeit with electric backing. In spite of a fairly heavy accent, Nuyens had a nice voice that was well suited to the material. Individually most of the tracks were quite good, boasting strong melodies with Nuyens occasionally throwing in a tasty guitar solo ('Naturel Man' - his spelling).
Curiously, his cover of Tim Hardin's 'Don't Make Promises' provides the most commercial and enjoyable track.
