“Ways Not To Lose” is the stunning debut album of original songs from siblings Oliver and Chris Wood. Like the work of Leon Russell, early Tom Waits, or Dr. John, the songs of The Wood Brothers possess a timeless quality; their bedrock melodies and astutely observed stories sound instantly archetypal. The songs are arranged just as the brothers conceived them expressive yet economical, letting Oliver’s coarse, impressionistic guitar work and Chris’ nimble, note-bending bass playing speak volumes.
