Description
The self-titled and sole album by the American folk-rock band Wood Bros. & Company (the Wood Brothers – Jerry, Wes and Dan – with Judy Wood, Darrell Hunt and Don Hill) was released on Joy Records in 1973. The album was produced and engineered by Bob Holden at Holden, Hamilton & Roberts Recording in Seattle, Washington; with the band co-producing.
Featuring Jerry Wood on rhythm guitar and vocals, Judy Wood on tambourine and vocals, Wes Wood on lead guitar and vocals, Don Hill on piano, Darrell Hunt on maracs, 12 string, bass, and vocals, and Dan Wood on drums and vocals.
One of those refreshingly unique electric folkrock groups that immediately became a personal favorite. Wood Bros & Company are a co-ed group of six that hail from the state of Washington. As with many of my favorite folkrock customs they strike that hard-to-find balance of good production but with just the right amount of homemade vibes. Brisk tunes that glide along with surfy ‘60s reverb and twang («Singing Praises», «Wake Up Sleeper», «Bubbles», «People Get Ready»), as well as charming ballads with fragile sincere harmonies and a strong sense of melody («The Touch Of The Master’s Hand», «Come»). Nice piano accompaniment, jangly 12-string and catchy electric guitar work, including some fitting volume pedal effects. Ten original songs, all quality stuff from start to finish.
