about this album
In the spirit that if you want something done RIGHT, y'a.... well, you know.... do it yourself, the Original Ol' Boy Band has produced its OWN bootleg album. The Hip Boots is a collection of nearly two dozen cuts from various drop-in points during the 30-year-plus history of The 1937 Flood, a band has its roots in the foggy (some more foggy than others) years of The Hippy Culture. In the fine tradition of bootlegs, the recording quality isn't always the greats -- these cuts were made on the fly at coffeehouses and parties, clubs and concerts and in people's living rooms, with whatever material were available -- but the recordings do capture some of the spirit and madness that brought the Flood together. These cuts also give the current Flood a chance to give a huge shoutout to earlier Floodsters, like Rog Samples, Chuck Romine, Stewart Schneider, Bill Hoke and others. They'll all still with us in the flow. We also feature some of the beautiful ladies who drop in from time to time, like Michelle Walker and Kathy Castner. The Players: Charles Bowen (all tracks except 3 and 6), guitar; lead vocals on tracks 1, 4, 7, 8, 10, 11, 15, 18, 21, 22.
