This Week's Freebie from the 1937 Flood

This week's freebie features our salute to a country music legend.

We in The Flood have always been huge fans of filmmaker Ken Burns, and we absolutely loved his latest PBS series on country music.

Now, while The Flood itself has never claimed to play country music, we were thrilled that the breadth of Ken Burns’ series extended to cover some of our all-time musical heroes, from Jimmie Rodgers and The Carter Family to Charlie Poole, Uncle Dave Macon, Johnny Cash and, of course, our perennial sweetheart, Patsy Cline.

For long time, we’ve had a Patsy Cline anthem in our repertoire, ever since Michelle Lewis recommended we give it a shot more than a dozen years ago. Here, from a rehearsal just last month, is our latest take on “Walkin’ After Midnight.” Click to hear the tune.
