One of
thepremier Americana-folk bands in the U.S. are The Wood Brothers. They have slowly
risen to the top of the genre since their first release in 2005. Their
latest studio album "Paradise" topped the Billboard Heatseekers chart
and reached #12 on the Billboard Country charts. They continue that success
with their new live album "Live At The Barn." It featured The Wood
Brothers performing at the "Levon Helm's Midnight Ramble" on August 19,
2016 for the first time since Helm's passing in 2012.
The new
nine-song album was released on January 13, 2017 through the band's own
record label, Honey Jar Records. The show begins with the country swing
of "Mary Anna" from their album "Smoke Ring Halo." They get their groove
on with the fun, sing-along lyrics of "I Got Loaded," before delivering
the blues of "Tried And Tempted," along with their cover of "Trouble In Mind."
The Wood Brothers plug in for their funky, folk/rock shuffle of "Who The
Devil," then close with the wonderful, up-tempo sounds of "Honey Jar"
and their beautiful cover of The Band's "Ophelia."
The Wood
Brothers are heading out on tour at the beginning of February. For a
