Grand Forks features Great Flood songs set to Dust Bowl music with a vaporously angelic voice hovering above it all. Devastation, struggle, survival, tenacity and optimism all battle it out on this gritty collection of songs chronicling the 1997 Red River flood that washed out 90 percent of downtown Grand Forks and displaced 10 percent of all North Dakota residents from their homes. You can hear the fear mixed with resignation on the eerie Here Comes The Water Now, where Tom Brosseaus falsetto hits some otherworldly notes. Brosseau, a native of Grand Forks, is a prolific singer-songwriter this is his sixth release in as many years whose high-register voice can stop people in their tracks. This themed acoustic guitar-centered set with minimal accents of organ, snare drum, lap and pedal steel, upright bass, and violin draws even more attention to Brosseaus plaintive lyrics and vocals. The most bedazzling moment is a duet with John Doe on the waltz-timed Fork In The Road, with Doe taking the high vocal harmony. It is vulnerably beautiful.
