Free Music Review: Front Porch Sophistication
Hit: 5 Stars
This music is deceptively simple and that is probably what makes it so brilliant. So don't let the initial impression fool you into thinking this isn't an amazing effort. Oliver Wood's guitar playing is straight-forward and direct, and it is the bass playing of Chris Wood that lays down a subtle and almost sneaky sophistication that elevates these songs musically. That's not to say that Oliver doesn't make an important contribution, his vocal and guitar timing and the space he leaves is impeccable, as are his smoky vocals. Add great lyrics to the mix and there isn't a dud on this CD. That's rare these days. Top it all off with production that walks a fine line, retaining a front porch feel while offering clean, crisp sound with out that over used, modern sound that sounds so manufactured. This is a fantastic effort, don't miss it!
Ways Not to Lose Poster
Modern folk and blues rarely sounds as inventive and colorful as the Wood Brothers' spare, soothing studio debut. Currents of jazz, pop, and country also ripple through these 12 lovely arrangements built around Chris Wood's upright bass (previously heard in Medeski, Martin & Wood) and Oliver Wood's gentle acoustic and electric guitars. It's not simply that the brothers' sweet, high voices have the genetic gift of close harmony: they're in absolute synch creatively, too. So when one's singing lingers over a lazy phrase in a number like the languid ode to living "Chocolate on My Tongue," the other hangs back on his instrument until just the right, complementary moment. Drummer Kenny Wollesen, who plays on a handful of tracks, is on the same wavelength--never rushing or pushing the Woods' behind-the-beat sensibility. And the rich dark tones of the bass and, in particular, slide guitars perfectly illuminate their unhurried stories about spiritual discovery and the trials of life. All of which makes Ways Not to Lose a delightful, relaxed listening experience. --Ted DrozdowskiBlues Music CDs
