Wood & Wire – No Matter Where It Goes From Here

Thursday, August 20, 2020 By Shawn Underwood

Polish is an under-appreciated art form. For a few years of my misspent youth I was enamored with old cars. As part of that I learned that while the most beautiful paint job was just a combination of wax, pigment & resin, the right artist could create a depth and dimensionality that belied the simplicity […]

Wood & Wire – North Of Despair

Wednesday, May 02, 2018 By Shawn Underwood

The best artistic efforts have the ability to hit you on many levels–strikingly beautiful at even the first glance, and then building your appreciation as you peel back the layers and get more and more out of it.  I found that to be the case with the latest record from Austin-based Wood & Wire.  It […]

There’s an occasionally recurring theme that […]

Wood & Wire – Wood & Wire

Friday, February 15, 2013 By Shawn Underwood

Here it is Friday afternoon before a long weekend for most, and spring break for many (or Ski Week, as it’s called here on the left coast).  For lots of people that means a road trip of some kind, and I can’t think of anything better for a long drive than some bluegrass.  Fortunately the […]
