Song of the Day 4/28: The Wood Brothers, “I Got Loaded”

Another video by the New Orleans outfit that put musicians in the back of mule-drawn carriages in the French Quarter for acoustic sets on wheels. This time it’s the Wood Brothers with the perfect tune for a Sunday morning, or maybe early afternoon, canter down Royal Street.

Bassist Chris Wood is the same guy who plays in the avant-groove jazz trio Medeski Martin & Wood. His brother Oliver played in an Atlanta-based blues rock band called King Johnson before they started working together about 15 years ago. The song originally appeared on their 2013 album “Muse,” but it doesn’t sound as good as it does here on Royal Street. At 1:41, even the mule chimes in.
