On “Loaded,” The Wood Brothers create an expansive exploration of their music, eschewing the more spare, acoustic, in-studio setting of their debut album for a more collaborative approach with other musicians and friends, resulting in a fleshed-out, multi-layered effort. Highlights include Oliver swapping verses with labelmate Amos Lee on a cover of Hendrix’s “Angel,” and Chris taking a vocal lead in tandem with Frazey Ford on “Don’t Look Back.”
