Best Songs of 2008: Week of 4/28-5/5

"Postcards from Hell" by The Wood Brothers 

Brothers Oliver (of King Johnson) and Chris Wood (of Medeski, Martin & Wood) performed their first public concert in 2005 at one of my favorite NYC venues, Tonic, which sadly closed last year. I know that now, but I didn't know anything about The Wood Brothers until a couple weeks ago when I got an email from bassist Carl Paradis who randomly found my blog by typing in his wife's maiden name "So Young Park." (Great name, I know.) He recommended The Wood Brothers  and I really like their laid-back, rootsy folk/blues/country style. Jeff & I recently got new lounge chairs for our top floor deck and these tunes from The Wood Brothers' latest album, Loaded, have been great for enjoying late at night when we're chilling with a beer under the stars. Thanks, Carl (and the other So Young)!

Couldn't find a video of "Postcards from Hell," so here are The Wood Brothers performing "Luckiest Man" at the Pickathon Roots Music Festival in Portland, OR.

Loaded is my favorite album of the year so far. I esp. love PFH. I'm curious to know who this song is about.
