Brothers Oliver and Chris Wood (Medeski Martin & Wood) have created Ways Not To Lose for Blue Note Records. A stunningly spare and raw debut album of original songs that possess a timeless quality; With expressive melodies and astute story lines, the sound is instantly archetypal, arranged just as the brothers conceived these songs. Kenny Wollesen (Bill Frisell, Tom Waits) contributes a grab bag of textural percussion on several tracks as well.

  • The Wood Brothers bring Rochester fans to their feet, filling the aisles, dancing and singing at Kodak Center show / NYSMusic
    Posted At: February 7, 2020 12:00 AM

    Rochester is a strong music city, based mostly on its flourishing local scene. Touring acts aren't as kind to this city between cities. But every once in a while a band comes through, latches on, and rides the tide to local hero-dom. The Wood Brothers are such a band. First opening for the poster-child of Rochester hero bands, Tedeschi Trucks Band. Then breaking through as a club pass band at the Roc...

    Posted At: January 19, 2020 12:00 AM

    The Wood Brothers sing of the cyclical progression of life, chuckle at people being human, and resolve to make better the things they can control and not worry about the rest. These are some of the broad, introspective themes found all over their seventh studio long player Kingdom In My Mind. And it all came about organically as they were breaking in their new Nashville studio, without them realizing the...

  • Signs of democracy and togetherness on The Wood Brothers: One Drop of Truth / American Songwriter
    Posted At: January 30, 2018 12:00 AM

    Acts that feature brothers in singer-songwriter rolls range from the generally harmonious (the Avetts, the Allmans pre-Duane's passing) to the radically dysfunctional (the Kinks' Davies brothers and Oasis' Gallagher siblings) and somewhere in-between (Jesus and Mary Chain's Reid's on again/off again relationship). The Wood Brothers seem to fall into the first category as they release album number six wit...

  • The Wood Brothers release their suggestively titled new LP / Boulder Weekly
    Posted At: November 30, 2017 12:00 AM

    The Wood Brothers' new LP, suggestively titled One Drop of Truth¸ starts its program with a simple acoustic guitar bounce, a bluesy, sundance-in-the-field filigree draped in the Brothers' characteristically pristine lo-fi varnish, which suddenly turns a little dark. The levee in Shreveport does what it's supposed to, sings Oliver Wood, until it doesn't. "Nothin's ever for certain," the chorus ...
