Oliver and Chris Wood formed the aptly named Wood Brothers in 2005 after a long geographical separation kept the familial duo from collaborating.

Chris settled in New York City, where he formed Medeski, Martin and Wood in 1991. Oliver’s path took him to Atlanta, where he honed his guitar and vocal stylings as the leader of King Johnson.

's been almost two weeks since the Saturday Springsteen show in Philadelphia and it hasn't diminished in stature one bit.  As the Magic tour moves on, the setlists will most certainly become more diverse and the performances increasingly stronger.  But this was the first show of the tour when Bruce and the E Street Band turned things up a notch and occupied that space that only they can.

Steven Wright – I Still Have A Pony

We all knew Steven Wright was on to something with his 1985 Grammy-nominated CD, I Have a Pony…but did he? It took 22 years to make another CD but not for lack of lackluster or deadpan-ability. I Still Have A Pony, released on Comedy Central Records last month, proves that he’s still got it…Pony and all.
