"Cavalier" is their third studio release and its a knockout! Finally a cd that I can listen to over and over again.Like a southern fried Led Zeppelin meets Fleetwood Mac or inklings of the original Jefferson Airplane but much more modern - this Alt. country band is no retro outfit but modern as a fresh blooming rose and come out smelling just as fine. Hundred Year Flood is fresh Americana, sweet roots music, can be as technical as Beck with the dust brothers And they can Jam with the best of the Jam Band Scene, but they are SO MUCH MORE! "Cavalier is a testament to Hundred Year Flood's ability to to write good songs and old school in-studio finese. Smart and catchy tunes combined with a powerhouse combo of musicians with hearts o gold blurrs the lines between rock and alt. country.Like a chameleon they can be anything they want to be as the moment calls for. Hundred Year Flood is the real deal, an old hippie told me he's been waiting for that sound and vibe for 30 years, reminded him of the Filmore days or Jefferson Airplane back when they were fresh and creative. Cavalier is an awesome album in the sense of how records used to be - something you listened to all the way thru and then again and again."

Hundred Year Flood
Hundred Year Flood is currently based out of the art mecca of Santa Fe, NM; recently transplanted from the live music capital of the world, Austin, TX. They have played all over the western U.S., including the Sundance Film Festival with Goshen, and have toured extensively in Mexico. The members are Felecia Ford (voice and keys), Bill Palmer (guitar and voice), Jim Palmer (drums) and Kendra Lauman (bass). They take country/folk sensibilities and rock them as hard as a noise pop jam band, from stark darkness to a frenzied twang. Felecia Ford is a West Texas master of voice, who cut her teeth on Broadway show tunes and the big production theatrical stage. Brother's Bill and Jim Palmer were members of the legendary Sharecroppers, Austin's groundbreaking bluegrass rock
