Athens, Georgia's second most popular band does a little redecorating here, tightening up its patented sprawling jams into more manageable soundscapes and adding strings and horns to its already expansive musical palette. While losing some rough edges and quirky spontaneity, Widespread Panic manage to provide an intriguing bridge between the old and new sounds of the South. While the band is quick to shrug off comparisons to the Allman Brothers, there's still a loose rhythmic groove that recalls their Macon forebears, especially on "Climb to Safety," which follows a beautiful loser through his loss of faith and attendant redemption. The dark subject matter is what you'd find in any Southern Gothic, but there's a modern twist, a dash of sinister organ, and some undeniable emotional fire. Unlike some of the other entrants in the jam-band school, Widespread Panic are as likely to incorporate a Black Sabbath lick or a Talking Heads rant into a song as they are to purloin a Grateful Dead riff, proving they're more children of the '70s than just another Southern boogie band. --Jaan Uhelszki
Released in 1999, this is Widespread Panic's sixth studio CD. It is 54 minutes long, and the sound quality is very good. It originally came in a cardboard foldout case. The cover has a vividly colored bird with a silver, 3-D, almost holographic background. The little tabs that hold the CD in place broke off almost immediately.
This is an appropriate title, because it has some of their wierdest music. It isn't really spacy, like early Dead, but there are some strange parts.
The CD starts out very strong, with the first three songs. Some of it has that distinctive southern driving sound that made their first two CD's so great. However, I could do without that "Spy vs. Spy" chorus on Bear's Gone Fishin'. What is this? Mad Magazine?
From there, the CD goes downhill. There should be a rule that only John Bell should do the lead vocals. The other guys in the group just can't sing. Unfortunately, this CD has more songs with other lead vocalists than any other Panic CD.
Party At Your Mama's House is another boring tedius instrumental. For a jam band, Widespread Panic was never very good at composing instrumentals. There are some very beautiful sections of playing during this tune, but it doesn't hold together as a whole.
This is another example of one of those "singer/songwriter" CD's from a jam band, where the band tries to go after a hit. All the songs are short and in some cases mucically limited.
All the best songs on this CD (like Dying Man) are also available on the live albums, like Classic City. The group does not play the bad songs in concert. I would suggest getting the live albums and just skipping this.
The kind of person that listens to the music doesn't matter on how good the music is. Just because youre a white guy with dreadlocks, who's been to a handfull of Phish shows, and gets junkmail from Greenpeace, that doesn't make you a tree hugging hippie, and definitely doesnt make you any moe a fan of music that "hippies" like. I was going to Dead shows before most of the "hippies" I see at shows today were born, I work for a parks department, but I look like the epitomie of blue collar. My wife works and acts the part, and listens to mainstream radio. The scene is not the music and the music is not the scene.
Anyhow, this album is wonderful, like every other album that WSP has released. The chemistry that grew for 15 years between the six members of the band really shows on this album. As it was Mikey's last album with Panic, it will certainly go down in jam band history.
