When We Wished Huntington "Happy Birthday"

#573 / Flood Time Capsule: 2021

Five years ago this week, The Flood was thrilled to be included in the 150th birthday celebration for the City of Huntington, featured on a special edition of “The Good Time Show with Michael Valentine.”

In this segment, Michael interviews Flood founder Charlie Bowen about the origins of the band:

This segues into a chat about a project that Michael and Charlie were involved in, some 2011 recordings the band made at Bud Carroll’s Trackside studios, material that later resulted in the band’s next album, Wade in the Water.

As seen in the above, the spot wraps up with Michael’s playing of a video from that session, the band’s rendering of the old hokum tune, “Somebody Been Usin’ That Thing.”

More? How About This?

Here’s another video from the 2011 Bud Carroll/Trackside session, rocking on the Charlie Poole classic, “Didn’t He Ramble?”
