Our Take
Ah, Mark Olson and Gary Louris, the dynamic duo behind the Americana magic of Ready for the Flood. This album feels like a cozy campfire in the middle of a bustling city, where the warmth of their harmonies and heartfelt lyrics transport you to a simpler time. From the opening track, "Bicycle," with its infectious melody and whimsical storytelling, to the melancholic beauty of "Black Eyes," Ready for the Flood is a journey through the highs and lows of human emotion. Olson and Louris' voices blend together like peanut butter and jelly, creating a sound that is both familiar and refreshing. The instrumentation on this album is top-notch, with shimmering guitars, delicate piano, and subtle percussion painting a vivid landscape for their lyrics to shine. Tracks like "Turn Your Pretty Name Around" showcase their songwriting prowess, while "Cherry Lane" is a bittersweet ballad that will tug at your heartstrings. Overall, Ready for the Flood is a gem of an album that will appeal to fans of folk, country, and just good music in general. Olson and Louris have crafted a timeless collection of songs that feel like old friends, welcoming you in with open arms. So grab a cup of tea, sit back, and let the Flood wash over you. Cheers to these musical maestros for delivering yet another masterpiece.
