The Wood Brothers’ fi rst big album, Ways Not to Lose, made subtle waves in 2006, making NPR’s list of most overlooked albums of the year and Amazon’s top folk album. The brothers have been touring relentlessly since then and have released three more albums, most recently 2011’s Smoke Ring Halo, the title track of which has a sad, busted country message performed with a folk sensibility and tinges of blues. The Wood Brothers make music that has a hootin’ and hollerin’ good time, then two tracks later bawls into its pillow. It’s folk with lots of guts. The Wood Brothers play at 8pm Thursday, Feb. 2, at WOW Hall; $15 adv., $17 door.
