{{Social media/Instagram|James Iha's debut solo album, Let It Come Down, released February 10, 1998! Co-produced with Jim Scott, it featured Smashing Pumpkins personnel Matt Walker (drums, percussion), D'arcy Wretzky (harmony vocal on "One and Two"), Eric Remschneider (cello, string arrangement), along with a number of other guests musicians including the late Adam Schlesinger. The album spawned the 4-track single "Be Strong Now" as well as a promotional single for "Jealousy".
{{Social media/Instagram|On this night in 1997, Billy Corgan performed at the annual Tibet House Benefit Concert at Carnegie Hall, New York City. Organized by Philip Glass, since 1990 the event has raised funds towards Tibet House US, the New York City non-profit that is part of the greater international network of Tibet Houses. The aim is to preserve the identity and culture of the Tibetan people that has been lost due to the Chinese invasion of Tibet and subsequent Tibetan diaspora. The Smashing Pumpkins played a similar benefit at the Tibetan Freedom Concert on June 15, 1996. The Pumpkins and related acts have performed over 50 benefit shows – most notably the Adore tour which by itself raised over $2.8 million for local charities, with the band also funding expenses out of pocket.


On this album, Iha took on a more acoustic country-ish sound reminiscent of the songs he contributed to the Pumpkins, notably shying away from the darker sound of Billy Corgan's songwriting at the time. Iha had said that the quieter tone of the songs reflected the fact that many of them were written in his hotel rooms during The Smashing Pumpkins tours, and he didn't want to disturb other guests by playing too loudly.
In a November 18, 2020 Smashing Pumpkins Archives post, Corgan recalled: "One memory I have [of the Tibet House Benefit] is of rehearsing with the group at large and heading out in the hall for some water when I ran into Lou Reed; who gave me a warm hug and asked me what I was doing running around with such a suspect crowd (a joke, obviously). Highlights of the night were performing "E-Bow the Letter" with Michael (one of my favorite R.E.M. songs), and sitting side by side with Mr. Glass as we played piano."


Let It Come Down peaked at #171 on the Billboard 200, at #76 in the UK and at #53 in Sweden. AllMusic gave the album 4/5 stars, asserting "Iha's handful of songwriting contributions to the Pumpkins suggested that he had talent, and he proves it here", adding that it is "a refreshing little gem that begs for a sequel."
RELEVANT SETLIST:


The album was remastered and re-issued in February 2012 with the three tracks previously released as B-sides added as bonus tracks, and in November 2020 it saw a vinyl re-issue in Japan.
