The Wood Brothers have learned to trust their hearts. For the better part of two decades, they’ve cemented their reputation as free-thinking songwriters, road warriors, and community builders, creating a catalog of diverse music and a loyal audience who’ve grown alongside them through the years. This evolution continues with Heart is the Hero, the band’s eighth studio album. This latest album finds its three creators embracing the chemistry of their acclaimed live shows. Recorded analog to 16-track tape, the performances are captured in real-time directly from the studio floor without a computer in sight.
