Wood, wire & words

"Blake's singing voice is slightly weathered but still expressive and soulful in its trademark understatement. His guitar playing, as usual, is unassailable and deliberately slower; it effortlessly fits these well-crafted songs that are rooted deeply in the Southern soil ... For Blake's fans, Wood, Wire & Words sounds like the album he's wanted to make for decades. For those who love American folk music but are unfamiliar with his work, there has never been a better argument for making this a starting place and moving backward".

"While Blake has released over three dozen records during the past five decades and contributed mightily to the O Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack, he's an unknown hero. He is one of the few masters who have been able to recapture old style American roots music and make it sound fresh and vital".
