Our CDs

These days there are lots of ways to get a little Flood in your life, all through the magic that is the Web.

You can order complete CDs and have those little boxes of plastic delivered to your house by mail. Or you can download CDs, song by song, and save them in your computer, cutting the postal service right out of the equation.

But wait -- say you don't want an entire Flood CD. You can say that. Oh, you might break our hearts, but you can say that. In that case, you'll want to sample the tunes on the Flood CDs and then just pick and choose the specific tracks you want and have only those tunes downloaded.

Here are some ideas for flooding your ears...

THIS JUST IN!!!

Wade in the Water

The 1937 Flood's first new release in nearly eight years, "Wade in the Water" was recorded in a single evening in August 2011 in the Huntington, West Virginia, studios of Live at Trackside.

Continuing The Flood's reputation as West Virginia's most eclectic string band, the disc features everything from jug band songs and blues to swing numbers and ballads to fiddle tunes and folk favorites.

All the track were engineered and mixed by the incomparable Bud Carroll.

I'd Rather Be Flooded

I'd Rather Be Flooded is the latest product of The Flood's finding its way to the studio, a disc full of surprises, from the band's first "live in concert" track to the introduction of the vocal stylings of Michelle Walker, from the the recording debut of Doug's bluesy guitar and lively mandolin and Chuck's mellow tenor guitar to the introductory of Joe's original composition, "Vandalia Waltz." Our Price: $14.95.

 

The 1937 Flood
Plays Up a Storm!

Fast on the heels of the boys' 2002 debut album, The 1937 Flood Plays Up a Storm is this second CD from The Flood, a lively and engaging disc that allows the band to stretch out and show off its diversity. Recorded in a single day-long session in November 2002 in Charleston, West Virginia, the tracks were engineered and mixed by The Seventh Floodster, Buddha-patient producer George Walker. Our Price: $14.95.

 

The 1937 Flood: The Band,
Not the Natural Disaster

Twenty-five years in the making, The Band, Not the Natural Disaster is the 2002 debut CD that started The Flood on a rollercoaster ride. Released on the Braxton Recordings label, the album was recorded in two sessions in Charleston, West Virginia, during the summer of 2001. The recordings were engineered and mixed by the incomparable Buddy Griffin. Our Price: $14.95

 

Hip Books: The Flooded Basement Tapes

As everybody's mother always said (usually with a pretty heavy sigh), if you want something Done Right, do it yourself.

Well, in our case, the real truth is that after more than three decades of making music, we just got flat-out tired of waiting for someone else to produce The 1937 Flood bootleg album, and (with a pretty heavy sigh) we decided that if it was going to happen, it looked like we'd have to make it so.

So... meet Hip Boots: The Flooded Basement Tapes. It's a collection of nearly two dozen cuts from various drop-in points during the 30-year-plus history of The Flood, a band deeply rooted in the foggy (some more foggy than others) years of The Hippy Culture.
