The Wood Brothers: Smoke Ring Halo

Read "Smoke Ring Halo" reviewed by Doug Collette


The Wood Brothers began as a quirky duo with musical charm far out of proportion to its numbers. On Smoke Ring Halo the brothers continue as a trio (with plenty of guests),extending their collective virtues further still.
