Full-length album "Junktown" by Andy Wood (featuring me on bass!) available on ALL major streaming platforms! Scope it out now!

Hey guys! Uncle Ben back again with the 4th and final installment of the Suhr Sessions that i did with Andy Wood Trio earlier this year. This series showcases some of the finest cuts from Wood's new album "Junktown" all recorded live and stripped-down in the studio, no overdubs, no punch-ins, nothing! What ya see is what ya get. Played standing up, no less.

This tune is called "Back to Austin", and it was written as a tribute to one of Andy's biggest influences, the incredible Eric Johnson. Wood does the best EJ impression i've personally ever heard, and he crammed this tune with as many EJ "isms" as possible! The lightning fast pentatonic runs, big tall chords, harmonics, pedal tone hybrid picking licks... they're all here! This is one of the most difficult tunes on the whole album, without a doubt.

Andy is playing his signature model Suhr T into his board (featuring effects by Wampler, TC Electronic, and more), into a Suhr Hedgehog, into the new Suhr RL/IR box, which allows for mic-free direct recording using a variety of different preloaded IR's. I have one too, and it's AMAZING and easy to use!

I'm playing my Suhr J Classic bass into the TC Electronic Spectra Drive bass preamp, which is a fantastic little box. Love it.

Julian is playing wooden drums, metal cymbals, and drum sticks. They sound great!

I've also uploaded live cuts of Smokewagon, Forgotten Secrets, and Junktown from these sessions here on my channel, so be sure to scope those out, too!
