One of the more interesting aspects of Happy Bones is how difficult it becomes to pinpoint and describe its very distinctive sound. He is, in fact, an artist of impressive musical means and now, with the very first Happy Bones album – a record some 25 years in the making – he’s ready to prove his point. He has something significant he wants to share and it extends far beyond the broken-couch blues often associated with him. It was, to be sure, a comfortable place and one I certainly enjoyed visiting from time to time.
My thought has always been that Woody felt a certain sense of satisfaction, writing and performing in the very finite universe of his own creation. It’s an act that local musicians have always thought highly of, that fans have followed from one bar gig to the next but has flown, somewhat criminally, below the radar. The performance project of one Judge Shawn “Woody” Wood, the Bones, in its many varied forms, has been gracing Augusta stages since the mid-1990s. That, quite clearly, is not the case for the Augusta act Happy Bones. Far too often I see acts perform before they are prepared or, even worse, enter the studio.
