Weathered Wood

Weathered

Weathered is the third studio album by American rock band Creed, released on November 20, 2001. It was the last Creed album to be released until Full Circle in October 2009, as Creed disbanded in June 2004. Weathered is the only Creed album to be recorded as a trio, as bassist Brian Marshall departed in August 2000, with guitarist Mark Tremonti taking over the bass guitar part during recording. Tremonti and vocalist Scott Stapp wrote most of the material for the album during a three-week period in late 2000, following their successful tour to support their second album, Human Clay. Manager Jeff Hanson once again paired the band with long-time producer John Kurzweg, who rented out a private residence/recording studio in Ocoee, Florida owned by Jay Stanley, where the band set up a studio inside to record the album. Recording sessions for the album began in July 2001 and took four months to complete.

Wood

Wood is a natural, lignocellulosic material derived primarily from the secondary xylem of trees and other woody plants, where it provides mechanical support and in the functional sapwood, conducts water and dissolved minerals. Being a natural material, it is characterized as an organic material – a natural composite of cellulosic fibers that are strong in tension and embedded in a matrix of lignin and hemicelluloses that resists compression.
