Album Notes

Wooldridge Brothers - great roots/rock songs that have been featured on Party of Five, Brooklyn South, The Young and the Restless, HBO and Sony films.

Scott and his brother Brian came of age at the dawning of new wave, formed a pop-slanted band in their Indiana hometown, moved to Milwaukee after the signing of the Violent Femmes and Bodeans, released an LP for Butch Vig's Boat label, and began playing under the name the Wooldriddge Brothers.

On the pair's second CD For Milwaukee's Don't Records, "Star of Desire," Scott's observations on love and contemporary life are supported by homespun fiddling, power rock guitars, and solid songcraft.

The Wooldridges' pop roots are audible, especially in their concern for well-wrought melodies, but their music has relaxed into an heartland sound compatible with triple-A Radio.

Windswept Pacific Entertainment signed the Wooldridge Brothers to a publishing deal earlier this year.

The Wooldridges have opened recently for Tori Amos and NRBQ.
