You Ain't Going Nowhere

Most musicians believe in magic, because magic is in the room on those nights whenever everything just cooks. Lately, the magic ingredient in The Flood’s special brew has been our dear friend Paul Callicoat. Now, Paul is old buddy of the band and as our other Paul -- Paul Martin -- noted last night, we’ve all recognized in him a kindred spirit. Well, lately, Paul Callicoat has been sitting in with us on bass, and suddenly old tunes have taken on new life. Right here’s just one of many examples for last night’s rehearsal. Now, we’ve been doing Bob Dylan’s “You Ain’t Going Nowhere” for a few years, but listen to this version. Check out the new notes that Doug has conjured up from somewhere for his fiddle solos. Oh, and hear the new vocal accents that Michelle has brought to the verses as well as the choruses. Everybody seems to be hearing the song with fresh ears. Hey, Mister C, that’s all you, buddy.
