WOODSBOSS The Austin-based Weary Boys, a throwback honky-tonk outfit that also melded bluegrass and house-shaking rockabilly into its performances, built a loyal following in Tampa Bay over the years thanks to energetic performances at places like New World, where the band's latest incarnation will perform. Fiddler/vocalist Brian Salvi notes via e-mail: "Four-fifths of The Weary Boys [have] reformed as Woodsboss, more country rock." The new material, posted at myspace.com/woodsboss, harks back to the stoner country sounds pioneered by Gram Parsons -- but with accordion. Joining the boys on vocal duties (and tambourine) is Brian's wife, Molly Salvi, a gifted singer with a whole lot of twang in her pipes. (New World Brewery, Ybor City)

FROM Orlando Weekly by Bao Le-Huu

Speaking of rising phoenixes, from the ashes of the great Austin country band the Weary Boys comes Woodsboss, who played the Copper Rocket April 23. With many of the same members and a set list that borrowed generously from the Weary Boys catalog, this new band didn't sound all that different from the old one. And that's not a bad thing. The charging bluegrass edge that the Weary Boys rocked has yielded to a focus on the more soulful side of country. The most salient and promising feature of their sound, however, is the golden voice of tambourine player Molly Salvi. She brings that perfect mix of sweetness and brass that all the greatest female country voices have. Just listen to their better-than-the-original cover of Dylan's "Walkin' Down the Line" for proof of that. They give her a starring role and they'll have a great band on their hands.
