This Week from The Flood Jam Sessions



This week's freebie from The 1937 Flood jam session features the legendary Phyllis Dale with an original composition dedicated to the beautiful Ohio River.

Regular listeners know that a few weeks ago, our dear friend Phyllis came by for a long-overdue visit with The Flood, and on the podcast the next day, we featured a couple of Phyllis's good-time tunes, the kind of numbers with which she used to rock The Delta Queen steamboat, where she was an on-board entertainer for 10 years.

But there's another side to Phyllis Dale too -- the ballad singer and songwriter. Here's another track from that evening. This time Phyllis does her wonderful composition, "She's the Ohio." And listen closely -- that's our good friend Wendell Dobbs sitting in on flute for a lovely solo. Hear the audio.

By the way, tunes from the jam sessions make up our weekly Flood podcasts. You can subscribe for free and get the music automatically delivered to your computer each Thursday. For details on that, click here.
