Voodoo Violince is the debut studio album by violinist Mark Wood, released in 1991 through Guitar Recordings.
Roch Parisien at AllMusic gave Voodoo Violince three stars out of five, recommending it to open-minded fans of guitarists Joe Satriani and Steve Vai who might be looking for something different. He said that "Wood's arsenal of custom-made electric violins (including a six- and nine-string double-neck, and a Flying V) sounds much like a Star Trek phaser set to overload and on the verge of exploding." Parisien went on to further describe Wood's tone, saying "The high-pitched squeal can have an unearthly effect, full of feedback and vibrato but with the texture and range of a keyboard."[1]
