Oliver and Chris Wood have been playing seperately (Oliver in King Johnson and Chris in Madeski, Martin, and Wood), but they have been collaborating to create some of the best roots blues that I have ever heard. Rarely do you hear such a rich sound come from only two instruments! Also the soulful, gravely voice of Oliver layers perfectly over the resounding but subtle bass and the rythmic jangle, jangle of the steel guitar. Get their CD (and their live downloads) from their site, and even better, catch them live in a city near you!
BTW, I love the review Amazon gave to the Wood Brothers' album 'Ways Not To Lose' along with picking it their 2006 Editor's Pick in the Folk category.

I never thought I'd be commenting on a blog about folk music, but I have to agree with you Joe. You gave me a Wood Bros. CD and I really liked it. Cool that Amazon gave them that review!
I found them some time ago, and have fallen in love with the music. I never thought I'd say that my favorite band was anywhere near their genre.
Yes Megan, they are an amazing duo, and are super nice guys also. Thanks for reading my blog!

PS - I play a lot of Wood Brothers on my live show on Tuesday nights from 7-10 PM EST - http://www.GumboShow.com
