And an album from my wishlist: And another good album from this newly discovered…”

Long time Southern Rock band Widespread Panic release another in a succession of catchy albums in 2008. (Cat#: WR00022) Vocalist and lyricist John Bell crafts some interesting lyrical gems among the 11 songs found here, while he is ably supported by the playing of his cohorts behind him. There is a playful spirit evident, while a subtle somberness pervades the overall sense of the album.
