By: Sabine van Gameren

Woody Woodham is a musician from the USA. He makes a cross between country and folk rock. In 2007 he released his album “Tribal Mentality”

Before you actually listened to the cd, you can already see that Woody Woodham brings you a political message. He dedicates songs on his album to Gandhi, Walmart, George Bush and Al Gore for example.
Quite some rush and heavy guitar works comes with this work. Somehow they kept my attention of the sneering voice in some songs a bit.
Then, the country idea is back and it is time for getting your cowboy boots out of the dusty corner of your storage room.
The song “Bitch” is dedicated to Ann Coulter, whoever that might be. As the song plays it sounds like that is a girl that rejected Woody once, so somehow this song is more a personal way to get rid of frustration.
It’s an album which make influences from the big names in rock n roll come clear. Beatles here and there, The Kinks… it ‘s there. To say the album has one straight style, not exactly. It is a collection of different songs rather than a story with different chapters.
