wood brothers kingdom in my mind

​The Wood Brothers (from the album Kingdom in My Mind available on Honey Jar Records) (by Bryant Liggett)
Kingdom in My Mind is baffling online streaming services. The latest release from The Wood Brothers comes up as an “unknown genre” on various internet musical playback programs, which is an apt descriptor for both the band and the latest musical journey that explores Jazz, Blues, Rock, Gospel, and Country styles, doing so by delivering the aforementioned genres in their traditional sense. 
“Alabaster” opens Kingdom in My Mind like a beat poem, the lyrics spoken-word more than sung, and laid out over a bed of a loose-limbed, groove-filled Jazz.  “Little Bit Sweet” is a bouncy love tune, and a raw Blues guitar is picked for Gospel hints in “Jitterbug Love” while “Cry Over Nothing” continues the Gospel feel as the soulful ballad acknowledges ‘the world is broken’. Raspy guitar is the motif for the punky, Indie Blues of “Don’t Think About My Death” as “Little Blue” jams a groove that sounds like a Blues stomp pulled from the Mississippi Hill Country. Perhaps the standout cut on the record is “A Dreams A Dream”. The track starts as a boogie Jazz melody before sharply turning into a lazy and beautifully sloppy Blues number so fragile that it could fall apart at any second underneath the triple threat of trippy, psychedelic, and funky.  Sounding like The Wood Brothers recorded with no plan beyond improvisation, making it up as they proceeded was the plan, Kingdom in My Mind is loose and staged in spontaneity.  (by Bryant Liggett)
