THE WOOD BROTHES

Custom

Despite having grown up together, and both having grown up to be professional musicians, Oliver and Chris Wood somehow never got around to making a record together until 2006’s Ways Not to Lose. And even that might never have happened had the Woods not rediscovered the fun of jamming together when their respective “other” bands — Atlanta blues outfit King Johnson for Oliver and the New York-based eclectic jazz trio Medeski Martin & Wood for Chris — shared a double bill one night. At any rate, better late than never. Together, the Wood Brothers perform a soulful hybrid of gospel-tinged country and acoustic blues. National Public Radio named Ways Not to Lose one of its top 10 discoveries of 2006, and 2008’s Loaded was just as rewarding. Both albums, incidentally, were produced by Chris’ MM&W bandmate, John Medeski.
