The Wood Brothers have spent nearly two decades crafting their unique sound, blending free-spirited songwriting with relentless touring. Their eighth studio album, Heart is the Hero, continues this journey. Recorded on 16-track tape, it captures the raw energy of their live performances without any digital interference. The result is an acoustic-driven album that resonates with the heart, head, and hips.
“We love the authenticity of fewer tracks and more care,” says co-founder Oliver Wood. This analog approach fosters creativity and intentionality, focusing on the performance’s feel rather than a screen’s visuals.
Heart is the Hero features standout tracks like “Pilgrim,” “Between the Beats,” and “Rollin’ On,” each showcasing their Grammy-nominated prowess in American roots music. With themes of mindfulness, love, and compassion, the album reflects the band’s evolution and willingness to push boundaries.
