The Wood Brothers - The Muse - Music & Performance - CD

On October 1st, The Wood Brothers will release their new album THE MUSE, on Zac Browns Southern Ground Artists. Produced by country-music legend Buddy Miller, the album embodies a newfound musical bond between brothers Oliver and Chris Wood one cemented by two years on the road with a new full-time member, drummer Jano Rix. Recorded at Southern Ground Studios in Nashville, THE MUSE mines The Wood Brothers timeless influences Robert Johnson, Willie Nelson, Charles Mingus and showcases their high-lonesome harmonies, Olivers gritty acoustic guitars, Chris virtuosic standup bass and their warrior poet lyrics. New to this recording is the "shuitar," a beat-up acoustic guitar rigged with tuna cans and other noisemakers, which Jano uses (and has patented) as a percussive instrument.
