About Me

MyGen Profile Generator "Olly Flood 4 Track CDImagine a trip on river or a walk in the hills on a perfect summers day when all your debts have been paid, you've got up from your chair and walked away. All the cares of a work a day world are a million miles away and a great burden has been lifted from your weary shoulders. You sit with a fixed gaze upon the horizon and slowly you break into a smile. I know in my bones your listening to the title track from a soulful, bittersweet debut from Sunderland's wandering troubadour of song. 'How I Loved to Smoke' is an unusual sing-a-long almost as if Gram Parsons had been reborn to the sound of shipbuilding and was a little dizzy from reflecting on an ever changing world. 'Lost Love' takes heart from Bob Dylan's 'Desire' and Felt at their most romantic. Overall this makes for a snapshot in time of a young man who has an unfettered zeal for life and all its complexities. If you only ever learn one thing take a leaf from 'Flood" and be happy."
