Various Artists – Down In The Flood – 40 Great Versions
A song written by Bob Dylan, it was first recorded by him with The Band in 1967.
That version was first officially released as “Crash On The Levee (Down In The Flood)” in July 1975 on side 3 of their joint double LP “The Basement Tapes”.
However, that original version had appeared earlier on a double bootleg LP called “Great White Wonder II” on the TQM label in 1970.
Dylan recorded several other versions that were released at various times.
The first released version of this song (as “Down In The Flood”) was by Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs in January 1968.
Some of the versions compiled here used the original “double” title of the original recording by Dylan and The Band. I stuck to the simple and most common title here, except for the original (track 1).
