A fixture on the southwestern Pennsylvania circuit, Tim Woods has been singing and playing acoustic and electric guitar for over 25 years. Showcasing his distinctive style, in which he plays and picks using his thumb, Tim's prowess is his ability to play both lead and rhythm while interchanging chords and licks.


As a young adult, Tim's immersion into the legendary Macon, Georgia music scene had a profound and lasting impact on him. Working at a local nightclub promoting and coordinating appearances of national acts, he eventually formed lifelong musical friendships. His time in Macon and subsequent travels throughout the South were both educational and inspirational, gaining him a great appreciation of everything the culture had to offer and, in particular, the blues.


It was also in Georgia where, nearly three decades later, Tim found himself in the midst of a session tour throughout the blues basin. Inspired by an intimate musical evening with such legendary Delta blues artists as David "Honeyboy" Edwards, Tim Woods "The Blues Sessions" is his musical tribute to these legendary masters.


This debut release was recorded during a six month studio tour of Clarksdale, Atlanta and Chicago, and features, as special guests, Allen Batts, Joe Craven, David "Honeyboy" Edwards, Michael Frank, Shannon Hoover, Big Jack Johnson, Aaron Moore, Eric Noden, John Primer, Bobby Lee Rodgers, Jeff Sipe, Kenny "Beedy Eyes" Smith, Ike Stubblefield, Bob Stroger, Lee Williams and Terry "Big T" Williams.


The affinity each artist has for one another is clearly evident in this eclectic collection. But, it's Tim's fiery vocals and tasteful guitar work that complement them while also shining throughout.


From the pleading acoustic, three-piece "Bad Whiskey & Cocaine," to the rollicking "Clarksdale Boogie," to the scarcely played (and not recorded since 1942) "Wind Howlin' Blues," these recordings take you on a celebrated journey that weaves across the diverse fan bases of early Delta, boogie and Chicago-style blues.
