Digitally remastered edition of the 1971 self-titled album by The Woods Band. Husband and wife Terry and Gay Woods had been members of the first line-up of Steeleye Span. The Woods' departed that group shortly after the release of their debut album to form their own band. After working with various musicians, The Woods Band finally settled on a stable line-up when Ed Deane and Pat Nash joined the fold. In 1971 the Woods Band signed to the newly established Greenwich Gramophone Company and recorded their only album at Morgan Studios in September that year. Produced by former Colosseum bassist Tony Reeves, The Woods Band featured both traditional and original material and utilized both traditional and electric instrumentation and took on more of a rock influence than the early Steeleye Span. Upon it's release, the album was well received and The Woods Band undertook a series of concerts with their fellow label mates Samurai and Open Road and began to develop a cult following. However, Greenwich Gramophone ceased operations in 1972 and this left the band without a recording contract and the Woods Band ended, leaving Terry and Gay Woods to continue recording and working as a duo. Terry Woods was later a member of The Pogues. This Esoteric Recordings edition has been newly remastered and features an illustrated booklet with a new essay.
