Free Music Review: Didn't See This Coming
Hit: 5 Stars
So I bought this album as a fan of Medeski, Martin and Wood without any expectations other than Chris Wood's phenominal ability on the bass. Turns out this may be my new favorite album. If you're looking for something similar to MMW, look elsewhere. Oliver and Chris Wood put together an incredibly cool fusion of folk rooted rock with just enough blues and jazz influence in the rhythm to make it really interesting. To top it off, Oliver Wood's grainy, soulful voice with catchy lyrics make for an album I can't stop listening to.
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
