THE WOODYS
"Imagine for a moment that Buddy Holly and Buck Owens had gotten together and written a batch of songs for the Everly Brothers. Then the Everlys played the material for Gram Parsons, who rushed them into a Nashville studio along with his mates from The Byrds. The resulting album would probably have sounded a lot like the latest CD from The Woodys. Dyann and Michael Woody are from Colorado but are now Nashville-based singers and songwriters who write and perform hook-laden songs that always remind you of—and compare favorably to—earlier country and 1960s pop classics.
Their first release brought them a host of Americana Music awards. Their sophomore effort ought to garner them even more notice. Of the twelve songs, the Woodys had a hand in writing eleven. From the "Ring Of Fire"-style mariachi band opening of "Echos Of Love" and the Holly-esque turns of Steve Earle's "Hearts Don't Break," to the Killer keyboard sweeps on "Don't Blame Me," listening to Teardrops & Diamonds is like spending quality time with new old friends." - Greg Milliken, Country Standard Time
