Album description

Here Come The Floods was recorded stereo live at the 82nd Avenue Folk Range in Portland, OR. In the midst of a landfill rewild, living in the old country ways, I recorded these songs using a portable recording device with the country bluegrass band I was heading called "Floods". We would rock a show every Thursday at a dive bar called "The Know" on Alberta Street, and record at the range throughout the week. Some of the songs were written for the radio show I did on Portland Indymedia called "Country in the City", and the rest grew out of my time fronting the Floods. On this recording, the Floods consist of me, Luke Tan, with Danny McIrvin, Molly D., and Tommy Suitcase. Please enjoy the sweet sounds of country folk, 100% stereo live and uncompressed!!

I really liked some of the song title's. I love beer and whiskey songs. He has a nice old country voice for these kind of songs.

Normally speaking I keep away from country folk stuff. It's pretty much about being up to the neck with the likes of Hardin, Dylan, and Cohen etc.. This is a positive drowning, but looking around I don't find much new folk sound that comes along that pulls its own curve. The genre tends to demand complicity. I double clicked this in the hope of getting away from all the endless techno drudge on this site and was surprised by a freshness of lyrics, a lack of overproduction and decent throb that carried me along. I'm definitely downloading this and spreading it around to my more acoustic eared friends. If I tripped over the threshold of your local bar I might bear with the bad beer and take a seat. I like it a lot. Thanks.
