I missed #JukeboxFridayNight for #aftertheflood but! here's one of my favorite songs of all time and it's all about that flood life.
Down in the Flood - Bob Dylan
-
This whole album is worth a listen if you have the time and inclination. You wouldn't put this on at a party.
Terence Blanchard: "A Tale of God's Will (a requiem for katrina)" (Full album)
The imagery of sadness and frustration is deeply prevalent but Blanchard builds in accents and hopeful rhythmic nuance to give the listener time to catch his breath, leave behind certain memories, and to realize the promise of a brighter future. The music here will leave you in a melancholy, contemplative mood and definitely in awe of the talented musicians, composers, and arrangers who told A Tale of God's Will. This CD was nominated in 2007 for a Grammy award as Best Large Jazz Ensemble Album, and Blanchard's improvisation on "Levees" was nominated for Best Jazz Instrumental Solo.

#AfterTheFloodIt wasn't till this week's hashtag that I finally got round to looking up the "Night of the Johnstown Flood" mentioned in this song - turns out it's a fictional song but I figure it still counts!
Bruce Springsteen - Highway Patrolman
Me and Franky laughin' and drinkin'
Nothin' feels better than blood on blood
Takin' turns dancin' with Maria
As the band played "Night of the Johnstown Flood"
I catch him when he's strayin' like any brother would
Man turns his back on his family
Well, he just ain't no good -
Here's another, about a more recent flood.
The Sundresses, "House of the Drowning Sun" (live, 2010) https://youtu.be/AKMdm2c1WJk
You'd rather make millions
Than save civilians -

Hopping on the #JukeboxFridayNight train theme of #AfterTheFlood. This one might technically be more 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 the Flood, but I'm not letting that stop me cause it's a banger.
The Thermals, "Here's Your Future" (2006) https://youtu.be/19m2yB_q4Ro
God reached his hand down from the sky
God asked Noah if he wanted to die
He said "No sir, oh, no, sir"
God said "Here's your future, it's gonna rain" -
This classic Randy Newman tune has been posted already, but not the lyrically altered, Katrina specific version from John Boutté recorded live at the Jazz Fest, a personal fav. Still gets me emotional.
Louisiana 1927
