Recorded mostly live in the studio over the space of twenty-four hours, After the Flood is a wide-ranging set of acoustic songs anchored by fluid guitar playing and literate lyrics.
Originally released in 1999, it features Matt Mitchell (Puscifer, Katy Perry, and many more) on bass, Todd McKimmey, and Stretch Williams (The Stretch Williams Band) on slide guitar. After the Flood was recorded at now-defunct Austin game company Origin, in their now-gone THX studio. It was originally released on the now-defunct original MP3.com site back in 1999, where “Maybe Free” was a top ten hit in the Folk-Rock category.
