Folk roots bluesy music Oliver Wood (King Johnson) and his brother Chris Wood (of Medeski Martin and Wood). Produced by John Medeski, the music has that many layered feel that Medeski productions are infused with. In addition to assistance from Medeski and Billy Martin, they also get help from Frazey Ford of The Be Good Tanyas and Amos Lee. Every track is great, this deserves a hearty listen.
