Oliver Wood is one of the founders of The Wood Brothers, along with his brother, Chris Wood. After several years on their own path, they discovered their musical bond and have been on a wonderful journey ever since their first release in 2006. On February 2nd, 2018,The Wood Brothers are releasing their sixth album \u2018One Drop of Truth,\u2019 which dives headfirst into a deep wellspring of sounds, styles and influences. Whereas their previous outings have often followed a conceptual and sonic through-line, here the long-standing trio featuring brothers Oliver and Chris Wood along with Jano Rix treat each song as if it were its own short film. The plaintive, country-folk of the album\u2019s opening track \u201cRiver Takes The Town\u201d gives way to the The Band-esque Americana soul of \u201cHappiness Jones.\u201d The stream of consciousness ballad \u201cStrange As It Seems\u201d floats on a cloud of ethereal beauty, standing in stark contrast to \u201cSky High\u201d\u2014a Saturday night barnburner built upon stinging slide guitar funk. \u201cSeasick Emotions\u201d is rife with emotional turmoil, yet \u201cSparkling Wine\u201d is jaunty and carefree. The end result is undeniably The Wood Brothers\u2019 most dynamic recording to date.
