The 1937 Flood Plays Up a Storm
The 1937 Flood
"The
1937 Flood is a group of six West Virginia pickers playing whatever
makes 'em happy," says Dirty
Linen magazine. "That's fine by me, especially when
the mix includes old-time and hot-club jazz with some jug band chestnuts
thrown in for good fun. The group does fine versions of 'Alabama
Jubilee' and 'Lady Be Good.' Other covers are as diverse as 'Sail
Away Ladies' and 'Rag Mama.'"
This
is the second CD by the group called "West Virginia's most
eclectic string band." Among the album's featured tracks is
"Music from the Mountains Sets You Free," the theme song
the boys wrote for Joe Dobbs' weekly
"Music from the Mountains"
broadcast on W.Va. Public Radio.
