Charlie Wood and The Smokin' Section's "World Painted Pink" Drives International Airplay

MUSCLE SHOALS, Ala. - July 20, 2015 - PRLog -- Charlie Wood & The Smokin' Section Band hit over 7,000 stations in 3 weeks with their first release off "Cutoff Road". "World Painted Pink" is about Ellen Trichell and her story with Breast Cancer. 1/2 of all the Downloads will go to Susan G. Komen Foundation. "Cutoff Rd" is a killer album from a classic artist, continuing Charlie's foray through the landscape of American music. This music is a step forward for Charlie as a songwriter, and a step into a wider range of feels and grooves.  A great listen and a very cool album.

I moved back home to Louisiana from Nashville, Tennessee to help take care of my mom - a promise I had made to my dad before he passed away. And, my wife, Fran, and I wanted be be back closer to our kids and family.

I still burned inside to write, make records, and perform. So I called on two ol' Louisiana boys, Timmy Takewell and Wayne Freeman, who each had played with me in Nashville at different shows, but we had all never played together as a group. So on a cold Saturday morning we all met up at FreMark Studios in Bastrop, LA and cut a song called "Breathe in Breathe Out". The outcome was phenomenal! I knew right away these were the guys that I wanted to pick up with where I left off in Nashville. So, “Charlie Wood and His Smokin' Section Band was formed.

We decided to make a record, so we all started writing. The three of us poured our hearts and souls into making the music we grew up on.... old school with a fresh sound. We wrote it for fans of music, not A&R or Commercial Radio people. We broke all the rules. We found magic and got our mojo working!
