| Press Quotes:"Dreams & Saturday Nights mines the seam between Springsteen and Steve Earle." - ROLLING STONE)"...one of the most unself-consciously rocking country records in recent memory." -BILLBOARD)"The freshest-sounding album to cross this desk in months is Bob Woodruff's "Dreams & Saturday Nights. It kicks and yells." -David Zimmerman, USA TODAY)"Woodruff, who studied under the late Doc Pomus, is as good as today's country music gets". -Tom Lanham, CMJ)" 'Dreams & Saturday Nights' is as fine a debut as Nashville sent into the world since Steve Earle's 'Guitar Town' " -Robert K.Oerman, NEW COUNTRY MUSIC) "From the opening notes--a confounding burst of fiddle and electric guitar--to the last chord, 'Desire Road' is a fresh, engaging piece of work" -WALL STREET JOURNAL)"Some like Son-Volt and Wilco are converted punks. Others like Bob Woodruff and Gillian Welch are Nashville outsiders with too much personality for the mainstream country machine". -NEWSWEEKBob Woodruff played in rock & roll bands as a kid growing up in New York City, but when he started writing songs, country music was where he found his vehicle for expression. While attending college in New York, Woodruff started writing country-oriented songs and formed a band called the Fields, which developed a loyal following regionally and was offered a recording contract with Restless Records. The Fields recorded a record, but Restless went bankrupt before the album could be released, so at that point Woodruff decided to pursue music as a solo act. He started playing gigs by himself and as his songwriting became more country, his lawyer was sending tapes to Nashville. In the meantime, Restless solved its bankruptcy problems and offered Woodruff another deal, but he ended up signing with Elektra/Asylum Records' Nashville division in late 1992. His debut album, Dreams & Saturday Nights, was released in 1994 to critical acclaim, but his melding of R&B, country, and rock didn't go over at country radio and Woodruff ended up parting ways with the label after one album. Woodruff found a new home for his music at Imprint Records and released his second album, Desire Road, in 1997. His sophomore album was also met with critical acclaim but unfortunately Imprint Records folded shortly after the album's release. After the collapse of Imprint Records Woodruff pursued other interests outside of the music business and took time to cope with some personal matters.Biography by Jack Leaver, All Music Guide.In 2003 Bob Woodruff moved to Los Angeles where he is writing songs for motion pictures and other recording artists. Woodruff is also writing and recording songs for his upcoming LP.I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4 | |
