EP 389 | Chris Wood - The Wood Brothers. New album Puff of Smoke

Big fan of Medeski. Martin and Wood. Then followed the Wood  Brothers through 9 albums. The media and music fans painted the brothers as a Jam Band. They are anything but. Jazz and roots/ blues driven with themes and lyrics that dive into human behaviour. Almost all songs are wrapped in a sensual groove. All songs written and created by an amazing trio. Chris's brother Oliver and Jano Rix, who'll play any instrument put in front of him. New album - Puff of Smoke is the best yet. The Brothers are celebrating the 20th anniversary of their debut album Ways not to Love. Chris's personal journey has taken him to a beautiful Wilder Wood farm on Pender Island, one of the best in the Gulf Islands on the West Coast. He and his biologist wife farm organic vegetables and sell them at the Pender Farm Market on the island. A percentage of the brothers' ticket sales goes to helping farmers. On both sides of the border. I caught up with Chris in an airport heading for an opening tour gig in Scottsdale, Arizona. In the complete interview on the podcast, he finished the chat walking to the gate. The Wood Brothers play the Hollywood Theatre in Vancouver on May 9.
