My Brother Woody - When Summer Comes Around
It may sound like a Father Ted catchphrase but My Brother Woody’s debut ‘It's a Long Way From That Sort of Thing You Were Raised’ draws from an altogether different inspiration. Attempting to top the west coast harmonies of the Beach Boys is a dangerous preoccupation but in the hands of Pugwash’s Thomas Walsh and My Brother Woody’s Mike Cleare the results are almost always satisfying. ‘Wish I Was A DJ’ had been knocking around my music player for a few years so I was really looking forward to hearing how a My Brother Woody long player would sound. I wasn’t disappointed as the album contains a clutch of low-slung beauties to watch the sun go down. The frothy swish of ‘When Summer Comes Around’ is probably my favourite but it was a close run thing with both ‘Another Wave of Harmony’ and ‘Getting Old Goes With Getting Fat’ hauling a trawler’s worth of sweet hooks. It all points to a great future, if My Brother Woody can build on his undoubted potential there should be plenty of thrills in store. KD

Decent stuff alright
Well, quiet good, but he still lacks something I think. Something is not complete with him I would say. May be a bit uniqueness.
Dropping right out of the bargain bin and into the "FREE" to a good home section it's the debut album from My Brother Woody. I added a couple of bonus tracks for the "hardcore" fans - http://mybrotherwoody.bandcamp.com/
