James Jackson Toth a.k.a. Wooden Wand will be releasing his new album Blood Oaths of the New Blues in January on Fire Records (Europe 7 January/USA 8 January). The album sees him reunited with fellow musicians from the Briarwood album and he will be touring with David Hickox, Janet Elizabeth Simpson, Jody Nelson, Brad Davis and Les Nuby III early next year. Somewhere along the line Wooden Wand became a BAND.

Blood Oaths Of The New Blues is the Sunday morning 'wake and bake' record to last year's critically acclaimed Briarwood LP's Saturday night revelry. With his once-every-five-years proper rock and roll record out of his system, James Jackson Toth - AKA Wooden Wand - retreated back to Alabama to record this spooky, heady follow-up, an album that demands close attention. This is music for quiet reflection and shares a worldview more in line with noise and doom metal artists than it does summer of love casualties and beach burnouts. Every Wooden Wand album trounces expectations, and Blood Oaths Of The New Blues, thankfully, doesn't break that trend.

To get you in the mood, Wooden Wand are offering a taster track for the album. "Southern Colorado Song" is the true story of the Dougherty Gang, a band of fugitive siblings from Florida that led the police on a nine-day crime spree across the United States. The song is a non-judgmental, only slightlyfictionalized account of the story from the perspective of one of the gang.
