Another great performance Charles. A really relaxed feel. Wish you were a bit nearer! And a harmonica always does it for me. We're lucky in "The Deterrent" to have a great harmonica player in Brian, who's been playing for years. Hard to come by a great player.
Thanks Charles, Sam is "the man"! Great song too. Listening to the The Flood always gives me inspiration for "The Deterrent". Some great guitar picking on that too. And fiddle...and..and... :-) :-)
Mollie, thanks, as always, for your kind words! I really love Bessie Smith tunes. In fact, my favorite new song we've been working on is a shout-out to Smith's version of "Yellow Dog Blues," which we started playing around with last spring. I guess our latest recorded version of it we did live at Heritage Station a couple of months ago.
For anyone who missed it and wants to time-machine back to it, it's at the end of this first video on this page:

Aw, man, thank you so much, Colin! We sure wish we were closer -- it would be such a ball for all of us to jam together.
And thanks for the kind shoutout to our hamonicat brother, Sam St. Clair. Here, from about a decade ago, is extra large helping of SamLove:

This is a great song that has been done by a lot of wonderful artists over the years. The Flood knocks it out of the park, as usual.

Just slide the counter over to about 11:30, you'll be at the start of the song.
