American Song Writer
Their music is unique and instantly identifiable, high praise indeed for brothers that have seemingly become tighter and more focused as their professional liaison has matured.

Glide Magazine
This seventh studio record offers so satisfying an experience, it will whet the appetite to hear the earlier efforts of this now certifiably great band.
-
Entertainment Focus
2018 - It’s packed with quirky and vivid imagery, bluesy, funky grooves and strong harmonies which give it a fun and carefree feel, and reveals more about itself on every listen.
-
All Music
a bit of Bob Dylan, a jigger of John Prine, a drop or two of Muddy Waters, and a whole lot of the Band -- it's easily their most laid-back and lived-in sounding collection to date
-
American Music Show
The Wood Brothers play truly cosmic American music, an earthy blend of folk, country, blues and rock that wrestles with the highs and lows of life.
-
Americana Highways
that mix of song styles at different tempos really creates that kind of holistic album listening experience that sometimes is amiss in contemporary music production
-
Lexgo
Given the organic openness of the music and the message, the tune tells us The Wood Brothers sound just fine when sounding like themselves.

Something Else Reviews
ten fresh songs held together not by some lofty theme but independent stories that share this confessional thread

Paste Magazine
The harmonies of hope and dread run through One Drop of Truth
-
Rolling Stone
For the first time, the trio drifts effortlessly (but not aimlessly) between styles as diverse as plaintive country folk and electrified blues funk
-
AXS
you get plenty of everything you'd expect from this band and some that you might not expect
-
Elmore Magazine
Running the gamut from acoustic country-folk to slide-infused funk and jazzy jam band style, as you listen across the ten tracks, it’s an impressive display of musicianship and songwriting.
-
Americana UK
On this work they have a bluesy style which is redolent of the deep south (although the band hail from elsewhere) and after much time together they are starting to display a multitude of influences.
-
Building Our Own Nashville
a thoroughly enjoyable album with interesting storytelling lyrics, expressive, majestic melodies and soothing vocals and a fine example of true artistry

Medium
t sounds like three guys in a room playing and singing their asses off, and I love every bit.
-
Mother Church Pew
Though every song has its own unique personality, each fits into the album’s diverse landscape like an essential piece of a brightly-textured puzzle. We can’t get enough of this album, and that’s the truth.
-
Dusted Magazine
Even as the album’s often joyful, always human stories unfold and crackle with inspiration, intoxication or love, the haunting sense of irreparable change lingers.
-
Tomorrow's Verse
Modern yet timeless, The Wood Brothers continue to maintain an integral role as an anchor in the folk-rock genre, giving an often stale musical style a breath of fresh air and reminding people like myself what made us love the genre in the first place.
-
Blurt
The Wood brothers have put out a career-defining album. But they’ve been just as brilliant from the beginning; now it’s time for the rest of the world to finally realize that.
-
The Music Hall
they put faith in themselves and ultimately their audience by writing and recording a collection of songs that is honest and pure
-
Independent Clauses
a ten-track collection that drifts away from their normal, concept-oriented fare into a deeper level of sonic genius
-
Train Wreck'd Society
This album is so perfectly varied in sound and style, yet continues with the same brilliant sound that their fans have come to expect.
-
Chronogram
chock-full of singalong choruses, many of them grinningly happy, in tone if not always in lyric
-
NYS Music
The trio’s first five albums seem to tell a story based around the album title, while One Drop of Truth feels more like a portfolio of themes, sounds and spaces.
