Who are the Wooldridge Brothers? Likely a band you've already heard, without realizing it! Several Wbs songs have landed in some unusual places, including the movies "Contact" and "Changing Habits," TV soaps "Party Of Five" and "The Young & The Restless," and E! TV's "Nearly Famous" reality show. But the strangest appearance yet for these thoroughly midwestern brothers was finding two of their compositions on the "Anna Nicole Smith Show"! And why Gulcher Records?! As a matter of fact, Scott and Brian Wooldridge are making their second Gulcher appearance! Way back in 1981, when the brothers were learning to drive and cutting their teeth in the new wavey Post Raisin Band, Gulcher included their power pop classic "Pink Lincoln" on its Various Hoosiers compliation, RED SNERTS. Relocating to Milwaukee, Scott and Brian spent the 1980s polishing their songwriting in the Squares, and by decade-end had refocused as the eponymous Wooldridge Brothers. Prolific songwriters, the Wbs explored a range of styles on their three 1990s albums, SKELETON KEYS, STAR OF DESIRE, and UNCOVERING THE SUN. Falling somewhere between the Flying Burrito Brothers and Nick Lowe, "alt-pop-alt-country" could be their multi-hyphenated genre! A SXSW showcase scored a publishing deal, and the Hollywood song placements followed. By Y2K, fans were clammoring for unreleased material heard at Wbs live performances, circulating on tapes and MP3 players. In 2001, Brian and Scott released 13 of those songs on the original, limited-edition UNREEL HITS, promoted through their web site. Gulcher Records recognized a diamond in the rough is still a diamond, added three bonus tracks, and proudly presents this 2003 reissue of THE UNREEL HITS, a collection of Wooldridge Brothers demos and outtakes spanning seven years and three albums.
