'Fat Cat Silhouette' by Oliver Wood - available now.
* * *
"There's a chair in my living room, right in front of a window," Oliver Wood says. "Every morning, I go down there to drink my coffee, meditate, and write. It's like a therapy session for me, because I can write without any specific goal in mind. I can be creative without being self-judgmental.”
Many of the songs from Fat Cat Silhouette, Wood's second solo record, began taking shape in that chair. Produced by his Wood Brothers’ bandmate Jano Rix, it's an album of unexpected twists and turns. Longtime fans will recognize the earnest, elastic voice that has always anchored the Wood Brothers' mix of forward-looking folk and southern country-funk, but Fat Cat Silhouette doesn't spend much time looking backward. Instead, it abandons convention, breaks a few rules, and positions Oliver Wood as a roots-music innovator who's every bit as interested in the process as the product.

Oliver Wood, you got me up & dancin' again. I have been sick for 6 weeks. Feeling better each day. But today, you music is so my jam...i got up & started dancing all around the room...can I have more than one favorite tune? Your music lifted me right outta my bed! hUgz from Ohio, Lee
I was only familiar with Oliver Wood in the context of The Wood Brothers but we saw him perform in Columbus with Langhorne Slim and he blew us away! Now my husband and I are locked in for life. If you have a chance, catch him out on tour.
Oli, you did it again, I feels like i already knew this tune. singing along before half way thru. Now, how do i put this on loop? Dance the day away. just the lift my spirit needed today, if you only knew. hUgz from Ohio, Lee
