On October 1st, The Wood Brothers will release their new album The Muse, on Zac Brown s
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, Oliver s
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.
