Pre-Order: Rollin' On - The Wood Brothers [CD]

Two decades into crafting one of the most distinctive bodies of work in modern American roots music, The Wood Brothers dive headfirst into their 21st year with their latest album, Rollin' On—a ten-track collection of live recordings captured between 2024 and 2026. Revered as prolific songwriters with a restless dedication to reinventing themselves in the studio, the band shifts focus for this latest effort to an equally committed pursuit: hitting the road on tour, bringing their music directly to the people. The complication is produced by honorary brother Jano Rix, who listened back to countless recordings alongside Oliver and Chris Wood, and includes three songs featuring Steve Berlin of Los Lobos on saxophone. Performing upwards of 80 shows a year, The Wood Brothers' repertoire evolves from night to night, with different set lists, reimagined song arrangements, and an empathic devotion to human connection. As life in the 21st century becomes ever more harrowing, one thing to count on is The Wood Brothers rollin' on, town to town, night by night, lifting spirits and inspiring the good people to sing about it. "Rollin' On is about survival and perseverance," says Chris Wood. "If we just keep putting one foot in front of the other, something good will happen."
