Woods exhibits two contrastingly different hues on “Sure Ain’t” which conjures a soulful funk-based feel with an unabashed ballad “Someday Soon,” that offers a heartfelt reading of self-doubt and its internalized struggle. Woods has a full-fledged voice, that reaches deeply on the low notes to rattle your bones and stir your soul, while still offering a soulful rock based southern tinge that resonates with an East Nashville vibe. “This music represents something totally fresh and new for me,” explains Woods. “I’ve heard that wisdom comes from love and experience, but I don’t think you can understand either one unless you’re willing to take a chance and dive headfirst into the unknown.” What is exceedingly clear is, the latter part of the year will reveal a solid album in the making. Woods has a mystic about his persona and his music that will linger long past the listen. That’s the short of it!
