Breaking Down the Fourth Wall with The Vespers’ Phoebe Cryar
Phoebe Cryar on Songwriting, Nashville, and Jam-Session-Campfire-Cookout-Things By Dacey Orr Not many kids get the opportunity to sing background vocals and hanging around studios in Music City, but for sisters Callie and Phoebe Cryar of family folk band The Vespers, it was just a part of growing up. “It’s crazy because when you grow up [...]
Album Review: Mercyland, Hymns For The Rest of Us (Mercyland Records)
“The only good thing ever to come out of religion was the music.” — George Carlin. Like any good comic, the late Mr. Carlin exaggerated for effect. Religion does have its good points — most of the Ten Commandments, for example — but I lean more toward the Groucho Marx school of ideaology: I wouldn’t [...]
Nashville’s Derek Hoke: ATF – Beyond the Music
We’re introducing a new feature here at The Flood called Beyond the Music. (Yes, in the spirit of VH1′s sensationalistic “Behind the Music” series, but without the ubiquitous tragedies.) Each installment of ATF – Beyond the Music will feature a video with commentary by the artist about the song, the video shoot, the album, juicy [...]
Robert Ellis’ Brief Stop in Nashville
Robert Ellis’ debut album with New West Records, Photographs, is armed to the teeth with sweet pedal steel, twangy solos and cheatin’ lyrics. Most of the record sounds like a barefaced tribute to Tootsie’s on Broadway. So you’d think that on his schedule of tour dates, Mercy Lounge in Nashville, TN would have a special [...]
Album Review: Colin Hay – “Gathering Mercury” – (Compass)
Forever known as the lead singer-songwriter of the iconic ’80s band Men At Work, Colin Hay has been cranking out solo records for nearly a quarter century. Gathering Mercury is arguably his best work. Tragically, though, the album was inspired and written after the death of Hay’s father. “Dear Father” features one of the most [...]
Keb Mo Releases New Single: “The Whole Enchilada”
There’s no mistaking that cool, soulful voice and the bluesy, smooth R&B sound of Keb Mo. The song is the lead track on Keb’s first album in five years, The Reflection, due August 2nd on Yolabelle International/Ryko. The Reflection was written and recorded over a period of three years, that included his relocation from Los [...]

Charlie Louvin: July 7, 1927 – Jan. 26, 2011
We were saddened today to hear the news of Charlie Louvin’s passing. He was 83. We feel privileged, however, to have spoken with him briefly from his home in Wartrace, Tennessee, just days before his cancer surgery last July. Unfortunately, the surgery was unsuccessful. In his honor, we’re re-running the short interview and review of [...]
Marty Stuart: Bonus Track from Studio B Sessions – Documentary Preview
That walking encyclopedia of country music Marty Stuart, and our vote for Male Lifetime Achievement in Hair, has released a bonus track from the Studio B Sessions (Ghost Train, released this past summer). For some reason “Lonesome Whistle Blues” didn’t make the final album, but we’ve got it for you here. Marty Stuart – Lonesome [...]

His work has influenced The Beatles, Gram Parsons, [...]
Conan O’Brien & Jack White on Upcoming Live Album
Conan O’Brien’s “Polk Salad Annie” is bullshit! Umm…that’s not us, that’s from the man himself. Never mind that original songwriter Tony Joe White got the name wrong — it’s actually poke salet, as in pokeweed and the 14th century English spelling of salad. But who cares; Southerners sure don’t. Nevertheless, Conan’s live version actually rocks [...]
Sneak Peek: Gwyneth Paltrow in Upcomng Film ‘Country Strong’
The latest passenger on the Americana/country/roots bandwagon is Gwyneth Paltrow. Honestly, she’s the last actor we thought we’d see in a country-music-themed film, but then again John Wayne once played Genghis Khan in The Conqueror, so stranger things have happened. In the upcoming Country Strong with Tim McGraw, she plays country singer Kelly Canter who’s [...]
