The Wood Brothers

The Wood Brothers have learned to trust their hearts. For the better part of two decades, they've cemented their reputation as freethinking songwriters, road warriors, and community builders, creating a catalog of diverse music and a loyal audience who've grown alongside them through the years. That evolution continues with Heart is the Hero, the band's eighth studio album.

The Wood Brothers have released their eighth studio album, Heart Is The Hero, available today via Honey Jar/Thirty Tigers. Recorded analog to 16-track tape direct from the studio floor with nary a computer in sight, brothers Oliver and Chris Wood and longtime bandmate Jano Rix stripped back their sound to its elemental core, focusing on the impact of the performances over studio perfection.

Today, The Wood Brothers share "Pilgrim," the first single and opening track off their new studio album, Heart Is The Hero, due April 14 on Honey Jar/Thirty Tigers. A jaunty, acoustic-driven number, the song is a call to presence on life's long and winding road. Its lyric offers inspired words of wisdom: "A soul's gotta walk, like a pilgrim he stops to smell every flower on the path, I better slow down 'cause a soul can't travel that fast."
