In this episode, Oliver Wood drops in at The Henhouse to talk about the evolution of the Wood Brothers, his early experiences playing in rock and blues bands, being on the road with Tinsley Ellis, and recording with a 14-year old Derek Trucks. While his brother Chris was off starting Medeski, Martin and Wood, Oliver's band King Johnson was touring all over the US. When they finally reconnected as brothers and musical partners, the Wood Brothers recorded a string of killer acoustic and electric albums that draw from blues, soul, funk and jazz. We hear about all that from Oliver, and hear some of the songs that influenced him, and we also grab a couple of axes and have at it on an old blues number and a Wood Brothers tune...
