Date: 2.20.2007 Author: Jennifer Kelly Magazine: Mog.com Posted February 20, 2007 Black Water Rising TAGS: Artist: Graves Brothers Deluxe Album: Black Water Rising Track: High Water Rising Other Tags: Boxcar Satan + Share My friend Stoo Odom has been in a bunch of bands – Thin White Rope and Sub-Arachnoid Space maybe most prominent among them. His Graves Brothers Deluxe has been going for five albums now, and if you like bass-driven, jazz-referencing, Beefheart-weird, four-in-the-morning jams, Stoo is your guy. He’s also a native of Louisiana, and when Katrina hit, his step-father was recovering from surgery in one of New Orleans’ hospitals. I’ll let him tell the story: “My mother and ailing stepfather were stranded in the very same hospital during Katrina – and for four days afterwards, with no outside contact, food, power, or medication. Meanwhile, we all stared helplessly at news of junkie zombie hordes raiding hospitals for a fix. We eventually found each other in Houston, and I helped move them back to the Big Uneasy five months later. Oh, and they got off light. Ask other folks about their problems.” The Graves Brothers Deluxe – along with Houston-based Boxcar Satan – have put together a benefit EP called Black Water Rising, which has Graves Brothers covering Boxcar Satan and Boxcar Satan covering Graves Brothers. There’s a Charlie Patton cover called “High Water Rising” (that’s a Boxcar song), and a fantastically celebratory sing-along called “Don’t You Just Know It,” by Huey P. Smith. All proceeds go to charities providing free mental health services to the Gulf Coast area…much needed in a region where suicide’s have tripled since the storm and alcoholism runs rampant. It’s $6. Go to www.dogfingers.com to find out more. Here’s Graves Brothers covering the Monks’ “I Hate You.” Anybody who covers the Monks can’t be all bad, right?
