Chris and Oliver Wood are sons to Bill Wood, a former Boston folk revivalist who recorded several duets with Joan Baez in the 1950’s. Although he had turned to a career in microbiology before starting a family, Bill raised his sons on a healthy diet of campfire folk, 1960’s pop and Appalachian bluegrass. These sounds are echoed in The Wood Brothers’ second effort Loaded, which also incorporates the jazz and blues influences from the brothers’ solo careers. The album is a true family affair, dedicated to the memory of their late mother. Learn more in this edition of the Songlines podcast.
