Warren began playing fiddle at age 11 and studied classical violin for a number of years. At age 17 he won the Austin Youth Award and performed as soloist with the Austin Symphony.
Hood is a classically-trained violinist whose peers are master pickers, so you'd expect his first solo album to be more in tribute to Stephane Grappelli than Stephen Foster.
But aside from a flight of epic gypsy jazz on "Black Cat," this is a songwriter's album, warmly produced by Marvin Dykhuis (in collaboration with Hood), to give as much emphasis to the rhythm guitar and drums as fiddles and mandolins.
Also, Hood has matured significantly as a singer, giving a deeper, brooding quality to his jazzman's phrasing.
