To join in on the fun the nation is having with the latest political
tug of war, the Wooldridge Brothers have decided to release American
Luck and Mindlessness. These two political commentary songs are
previously unreleased and are only available via the web.
American Luck
- This boot kicking country rocker pokes fun at our
Just-Say-No political leaders and the we-deserve-it-all American
greed they represent. Who said you can't be inspired by the
Tea-bots. Recorded for Days Went Around but ended up as an outtake,
we liked it enough that we thought we should make it available to
fans. Produced by Scott and Brian Wooldridge. Mixed by Chris Stamey (dBs, Ryan Adams, etc). Chris also plays the "shred" guitar
in the bridge. Dave Braun on drums.
Mindlessness
- Sounding like something Karl Wallinger would write,
this guitar pop song exudes with the political frustration that you
can see leaking through the cracks of our social democracy. Produced
and Mixed by Scott and Brian Wooldridge. All instruments Wooldridge
Brothers.

Duluth News Tribune - CD Reviews: Indie gems 6/17/09
By: Matthew R. Perrine, Budgeteer News
Finally, America’s answer to the Proclaimers has revealed itself.
The
Wooldridge Brothers have everything going for them that those
Scottish
blokes do: a knack for producing jangly, inoffensive rock anthems
that
could conquer a number of radio formats; a squareness that borders
on
hipness; and a brother-brother songwriting team split between
Milwaukee and Minneapolis. Oh … wait. Either way, the Wooldridge
Brothers’ first studio album in a decade, “Days Went Around,” is a
musthear
disc for fans of polished singer/songwriter fare (here’s looking at
you, Storyhill obsessees) — and, yes, this means songs recorded by
the
Proclaimers. At least the ones that weren’t titled “I’m Gonna Be
(500
Miles),” mind you. Best place to start? The Clash-does-Mellencamp
tour
de force “Does She Love Me Loud.”
Round The Dial - CD Review 5/11/09
Days Went By is a healthy collection of tracks by any standards - fourteen cuts that,helps to reinforce the overall feel here that this outfit is undergoing a powerful artistic transformation that's impossible to ignore.

Milwaukee Magazine Review
By combining tight, hooky melodies and sharp introspective lyrics, Brian and Scott Wooldridge carve out a niche alongside fellow Milwaukee legends like the Violent Femmes and The Bodeans.

Folkbum blog - Album Review
What broke open the floodgates is the excellent new CD by the Wooldridge Brothers, a pair with strong Milwaukee roots and a definite midwestern sensibility in how they roll. Days Went Around is a fun romp, and worth a listen.
